Take the 2010 live-action version of The Last Airbender. Fans of the cartoon show called it a total disaster. YouTuber Penguinz0 said it was one of the worst movies ever, like a dementor sucking the soul out of everyone watching. The acting was stiff, the story rushed, and it left theaters empty because no one wanted to see it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYJVbTxl7Io
Then there is Plan 9 from Outer Space from 1959. This one tops many all-time worst lists for its cheap effects, like flying saucers on strings, and bizarre plot about aliens raising the dead. Audiences laugh at it now, but back then, it bombed hard with viewers who expected something scary.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_films_considered_the_worst
In 2025, Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness got trashed by audiences and critics alike. Reviewers called it a plodding, pretentious mess with one okay scene that made the rest look even worse. Viewers agreed it was forgettable and unconvincing.https://www.metacritic.com/pictures/worst-movies-of-2025/
The Strangers: Chapter 2 also flopped big in 2025. Horror fans hated how it turned a decent franchise into a disaster with weak scares and no tension. One critic said it was one of the worst horror films of the year, and audiences stayed away.https://www.metacritic.com/pictures/worst-movies-of-2025/
Shadow Force from 2025 starred Kerry Washington and Omar Sy, but viewers found it generic and boring. It made just 5 million dollars at the box office against a 40 million budget. People called it more like an idea of a movie than an actual one.https://www.metacritic.com/pictures/worst-movies-of-2025/
Even a whole documentary exists called The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made, which audiences rate low at 5.0 on IMDb. It rounds up flops that viewers still talk about for all the wrong reasons.https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/the-50-worst-movies-ever-made
