most hated movies

[Gabriel Knight]

Any Movie that has Will Ferrell or Dane Cook.

I'm a rabid Will Ferrell hater but I have to admit that his Mugatu role in ZOOLANDER is excelent. Probably the only good thing he has ever done in his life.

Scream (1996)



During my high school days this movie was all over the place. When I was getting into the horror films of 1960's, 70's and 80's the rest of my school was obsessed over Scream. When I finally got around to watching it, I couldn't believe how over hyped and overrated it was. Scream is a slasher film for those that hate slasher films. If Kevin Williamson and snobbish critics actually did their research many slasher/horror films already had films that parodied or put spins on the formula. Its a film that thinks it is so cleaver and smarter then it thinks it is (April Fools Day, There's Nothing Out There, New Nighmare and others for example). The kills aren't that great, the humor is obnoxious, and reeks of everything I hate about 90's horror films.

I've also never been a huge Wes Craven after Last House on the Left, The Hills have Eyes, and Nightmare on Elm Street were the peak of his career. Everything else was a mess or clearly him being a director for hire. Scream was Craven's sell out moment. Scream also spawned all the knock offs like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Valentine, Urban Legend and the various sequels.

Even Zoolander he sucks the life out of that role..at least for me.  The rest of the movie and cast is fine.. just Ferrell is totally unfunny and untaltented

Someone on the first page mentioned Dondi and I would definitely concur. I can't think of a worse ass movie

From what I understand, SCREAM was supposed to be a parody of the slasher genre, aimed at its followers, filled with cliches and tropes that only they would recognize and enjoy. Strangely, it caused the opposite effect, and revitalized the genre like never before.

I hate:

Anna vs the Apocalypse
The Midnight Hour
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Frighteners
The Funhouse Massacre
Hobo with a Shotgun
Hoboken Hollow
Larva
Leprechaun: Origins

..........and more to follow for sure

[zombie no.one]

+1 for SCREAM. nowhere near as clever or sharp as it thinks it is.

the only 2 wes craven films I truly enjoy are LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and THE HILLS HAVE EYES PART 2! (don't even like the first one)

[WingedSerpent]

Ready Player One
To paraphrase a youtube comment-"Its a movie for people who think liking pop culture is a personality"

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol:2
Liked the first one. HATED the second one. Everyone felt like a parody of the characters they were in the first one. I've described it as a movie that's laughing too hard at its own jokes.

I am curious to know too.  ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is a great film from a wonderful play.  NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is a masterpiece.

I have to admit I was wondering about the hate for Arsenic and Old Lace too. It is my favourite B/W movie.

Like I said, I thank it for getting horror back in the mainstream but the glut of horror films that came out were poor at best. All of them trying to copy Scream or turning legacy franchises into Scream (Halloween H20 for example). Also the parody aspect was used to sell it to the studios as the horror genre becoming less popular with studio elites.

To continue this awesome thread, I'm going to add one that I hate with a passion: A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. If I have to define that movie in a single word, it would be disgusting.

From the main characters, to the camera work, setting, dialog, scenes, and conclusion. Everything simply induces me a gag reaction. And the fact that almost everybody I know holds it as some kind of masterpiece makes it worse.
