In this article series dedicated to movies, we’ve tried to bring you only the best films from each genre, renowned directors or stellar actors so far, but this time it is more of a cautionary tale. Our next installment lists only the most horrible, the most terrible, the worst movies made to date. And these aren’t your so-bad-it’s-good movies; these are just plain atrocities that shouldn’t have been conceived in the first place.
It isn’t like we’re trying to sell you these movies, for trying to sit through an hour or so of any of these monsters would only be acceptable if you have masochistic tendencies. No biggie if you do, though. These bad movies are here, say, more as a means of comparison, because if you were to hastily skip through them or watch one for the sake of a scientific experiment, you’d sure appreciate the good movies that much more!
And you know, it would be really hard to name the things that went so horribly wrong in these terrible movies, for it seems that everything was amiss, to begin with. From mismatched cast to lame premise to plain bad writing and directing, these movies never had the chance to become more than mediocre. However, it still took some dubious talent to make them into the worst movies ever.
So, brave our list of bad movies – if you do watch one or more of them, we’ve prepared a mental medal for being as patient as a rock. Also, it would be more than peachy if you’d share your impressions of the ones you’ve watched in the comments! And lastly – don’t forget to share this article with your friends so they won’t accidentally watch one of these bad movies on their only free evening of the week.
#1 The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)
2011 | 1 hour 31 minutes | Directed by Tom Six
Starring Laurence R. Harvey, Ashlynn Yennie, Maddi Black
The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) is an exploitation body horror film, and for those who were lucky enough to know nothing about it before, this is how it goes – a disturbed loner, upon watching the original Human Centipede movie, decides to top the twisted fantasy by creating his own centipede, just longer. A human centipede is, well, a centipede constructed with people by sewing each ‘segment’ to the previous one’s behind. Watching this movie is a total sickfest and a literal shitshow. Unbelievably unenjoyable experience with close-to-null redeeming points.

#2 Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
2011 | 1 hour 45 minutes | Directed by Jon M. Chu
Starring Justin Bieber, Boyz II Men, Miley Cyrus
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never is a 3D concert film following the Biebs in the ten days leading to his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. The footage shows the young Canadian as he rehearses and spends his time as an adolescent would, all interwoven with home videos and archive photos. While Justin Bieber: Never Say Never was a huge box office hit, the movie is absolutely uninspiring, to say the least – an intimate look at a young boy’s life verges on creepy, the directing here is horrible, and the only good thing about watching it is the popcorn. So bad it isn’t even good!

#3 Mean Girls 2
2011 | 1 hour 36 minutes | Directed by Melanie Mayron
Starring Meaghan Martin, Donn Lamkin, Linden Ashby
Mean Girls 2 is a teen comedy television film that should’ve delivered the same ingeniousness that its predecessor had. However, without the cast and the creators, Mean Girls 2 turned out to be worthy of a place on our worst movies list. This movie lacks in every department – from writing to directing and acting, everything is, to put it mildly, sub-par. In fact, it is a shame it carries the teen classic Mean Girls in its name!

#4 Glitter
2001 | 1 hour 44 minutes | Directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall
Starring Mariah Carey, Eric Benet, Max Beesley
Glitter is a romantic musical drama film that even its star, Mariah Carey, was admittedly ashamed of being a part of. If you’re still interested in the plot, this is how it goes – a young singer dates a DJ who helps her find the path to fame. However, their relationship gets complicated once she ascends to superstardom. It could’ve been a pretty decent chick flick if not for terrible acting and boring plot, which makes it into an unintended comedy. If you do watch it, though, bring loads of snacks to occupy you.

#5 The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)
2015 | 1 hour 42 minutes | Directed by Tom Six
Starring Dieter Laser, Laurence R. Harvey, Eric Roberts
The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence), same as its predecessor, is a body horror film, also trying to be a black comedy this time. Now, it’s a warden of a notorious prison that’s inspired by the previous Human Centipede movies who wants to re-create this monstrosity using 250 inmates as a solution to his problems. The Human Centipede trilogy is supposedly a satire, but to this day, we have no clue what it’s supposed to satirize. It’s still just a sickfest and a shitshow.

#6 Dragonball: Evolution
2009 | 1 hour 25 minutes | Directed by James Wong
Starring Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Chow Yun-Fat
Dragonball Evolution is a science fiction action film, or, at least, it tries to be one. What it is, in fact, is a full-blown manifesto against the original anime and everything that anime stands for. Also, the plot is so confusing and badly written that neither those who’ve watched the original series nor those who didn’t will be able to understand a thing going on. So, watch it at your own risk, and don’t file a complaint of disdain against us!

#7 Hostel: Part III
2011 | 1 hour 28 minutes | Directed by Scott Spiegel
Starring Kip Pardue, Brian Hallisay, John Hensley
Hostel: Part 3 is a horror film that marks the end of the Hostel movie series. Here, a foursome of dudes attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas falls prey to the Elite Hunting Club, who are, of course, organizing a game show of torture. This installation did not have Eli Roth’s guiding hand overseeing the project’s success, and without him, Hostel 3 turned from classy gore horror to a jumble of toothless hackneyed cliches.

#8 Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
2004 | 1 hour 28 minutes | Directed by Bob Clark
Starring Jon Voight, Scott Baio, Vanessa Angel
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 is a family comedy film that follows a team of four babies trying to save the world from a mad mogul. This movie has a very rare approval rate of a perfect 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and is often deemed one of the worst movies ever made. Well, it wouldn’t have gotten onto our list any other way! You can try watching Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 ironically, but even that wouldn’t make this ‘comedy’ bearable.

#9 100 Tears
2007 | 1 hour 30 minutes | Directed by Marcus Koch
Starring Georgia Chris, Joe Davison, Raine Brown
100 Tears is an independent black comedy slasher film following a wrongfully accused clown who goes on a killing spree. Now said clown just cannot stop the hate that fuels him and turns into a bona fide serial killer. And while such a premise might seem quite fun for a slasher, even a slasher needs way more than just a sea of blood and a tangle of guts to grant a pleasurable viewing experience.

#10 From Justin To Kelly

#11 Home Alone 4
2002 | 1 hour 29 minutes | Directed by Rod Daniel
Starring French Stewart, Erick Avari, Barbara Babcock
Home Alone 4 is a Christmas family comedy television film that’s basically a twice-regurgitated version of the previous films. Even worse, perhaps, for the acting here is absolutely terrible, the dialogue as bland as the color beige, and the jokes just don’t work. Oh, and even the robbery part isn’t there anymore! If you do watch it, though, you’ll probably be left wondering why they decided to bother with it at all.
