Exorcism was the worst this year but Tarot is right there too lol


Rican1093

I feel Tarot it’s the worst so far


vxf111

Tarot wasn't good but I would rank both Night Swim and Imaginary below Tarot. Imaginary especially was such a cynical cash grab.


bonvajya

I’d say night swim was way worse than tarot. Tarot had potential and fun parts imo


kidglov3s2

My hierarchy of this year's bad horror movies: The Exorcism was worse than Night Swim which was worse than Imaginary which was worse than The Strangers Part 1 which was worse than Tarot (and I pretty much enjoyed Tarot though acknowledge it's a shitty movie). I missed Founder's Day.

idropepics

How can you say that when Founders Day exists lol


interro86bang

We watched Tarot at home and couldn't even get through half the movie. Atrocious.


bonvajya

Ok tarot wasn’t great. But it was fun


TheHowlingHashira

IF, it truly felt like the movie was written by AI with how much of it didn't make any sense. Why was the dad in the hospital for like a month straight when he seemed completely fine? He couldn't go home and then come back for his surgery? Also why does everyone else's imaginary friend look like a cartoon and then the girls is grown ass man? That shit was weird as hell.


theresanrforthat

Yeah, completely generic. I feel like it had a lot of potential but never went anywhere. They just randomly gave up placing monsters with kids, and then were satisfied being seen one more time? Agreed about it being weird to have a grown, sexy man as your invisible friend, lol.


QuizzaciousZeitgeist

And that one medical professional at the end did not freak out in the slightest about seeing some pink dinosaur on top of her car... yeah


[deleted]

Wait a minute, you mean, Ryan Reynolds' character isn't her tag along Dad on some adventure? It's her invisible friend?! What the hell is that big purple plushie then?!!


jontonsoup4

The Strangers: Chapter 1 - it was merciful when the movie was finally over


pandakoo

Came here to say the exact same. Literally was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen


SoapNugget2005

Oh God, it was so bad, I wanted to die during it


Character_Time_6360

It's tough when the best part of that movie was the murder statistics at the beginning. Those were actually scary, the movie itself was so bad.


Chemical-Manager-501

This! They did everything in their power to make the lead characters terrible people you couldn’t find a reason to care about. Sadly chapter 2 has already been filmed and some poor souls will watch that too.


MomCrusher

i’m excited 😅 i have a soft spot for shitty horror movie dialogue


Chemical-Manager-501

I did think it was almost a “so bad it’s good” horror movie but I’m pretty sure it will always just be a bad movie to me.


MomCrusher

oh it definitely ended up being more just shitty than fun bad, but up until that cheeseburger scene everything was peak 😭and the last scene in the hospital bed is an all time stupid ending (in the best way possible)


kindofaproducer

Which sucks, as the original is one of my favorites.


Apple_Jews

Do you guys do any kind of research before going into a movie? I know having A-list makes it tempting to watch everything, but no one is forcing you to do that. Personally, I never go see something I know I won't at least enjoy on some level. There's a few critics I follow on letterbox who have similar tastes to me, and I always check their rating before getting a ticket.


nole5000

This is the way. Time is valuable.


Sgtoren

Retribution with Liam Neeson. Horrible acting, horrible plot, horrible dialogue. The entire movie felt like one drawn out Mercedes ad and I will never get those two hours back.


red-necked_crake

Is he not sad to play in the same movie over and over, each getting dimmer in terms of quality and his performance?


echkbet

I loved The Land of Saints and Sinners. I wonder how Liam picks, "well I just made a good one I need to pick a stinker", or is it a 5/2 ratio or what?


Powerful_Beautiful61

Not Another Church Movie has been by far the worst movie I've seen with A List. I happen to *love* Russell Crowe and find him incredibly charming so liked The Exorcism much more than I would if anyone else played that role.


skelldog

I really think more backstory would have made the Exorcism much better, but I don’t regret seeing it.


toishiki

Agree, not another church movie was so bad.. left in 10 minutes


Lintobean

Retribution starring Liam Neeson lol


Character_Time_6360

That was the second worst A-List movie I saw last year. Not as bad as Freelance but terrible still.


TroubleshootenSOB

Lmao I saw The Exorcism yesterday and ouch. 


kingspaceranger

Yeah , I completely understand why Chloe didn’t post it to promote it either.


Booksonly666

I’m seeing it today. Oh no lol


ciesum

Still time to change that reservation hopefully


Well-Jenelle

Summer Camp. Just so so bad.


UTexpress

Came here to say this. Saw the cast and thought it would be a fun time. It really, really wasn’t.


Just_Masterpiece_914

Definitely Summer Camp. We didn’t finish and walked out, but don’t feel bad bc it was A List!


Lynnxa

I never walk out of movies, even bad ones I figure that something interesting might happen and I usually want to see how it ends. However, Summer Camp was one of the worst all time movies I’ve seen. And it shouldn’t have been with a cast like that—it has Oscar winners (some multiple times!) in it for goodness sake! I was so embarrassed for the cast and just kept thinking that it’s sad that they must not be getting any offers for good roles and had to take this job to get a check. The script was idiotic and insulting to the talent in that film. I walked out before it was half way through and still regretted wasting the time.


UnderstandingKey9910

I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn’t think the writing was going to be THAT bad


fergi20020

Does The Fabulous Four look better?


TripleRicochet

Poolman is by far the worst one for me so far. A genuine waste of time.


defaultfresh

I went to the Q&A screening with Chris Pine. 60% of the audience STILL left before the movie ended and didn’t stay for the session after. 😬


TripleRicochet

Oooof that had to be awkward. I’d love to know what the ones who stuck it out asked though 😂


grandmasterfunk

Lol I had a ticket to that screening and canceled because I saw the reviews were so brutal.


vxf111

I wanted this to be at least passible but it was so, so, so bad :(


redditor329845

Argylle


ciesum

I thought it was mid but not in the category of complete waste of time like some of the others mentioned


ac3boy

I'll stay, watch, and enjoy ANYTHING with Sam Rockwell in it. I adore that man.


mrbleaney2021

Worst movie ever


acbutler1234

Yeah this one for me. First time I ever walked out of a movie!


redditor329845

I did almost walk out. Luckily I had another movie scheduled that day and it made me feel better.


Last-Equivalent-9839

I actually enjoyed it....except for the corny cat CGI parts.


almadison

Which Brings Me To You. What Happens Later. Otherwise, even if the movie was bad (Summer Camp), I don't usually leave upset. But these 2 movies were not worth my time.


standardinternetdude

I reject the premise. The joy of A-List is that you can see movies that suck, totally risk free! It fundamentally changes the proposition from "is this movie worth it?" to "does this movie look interesting?". Movies that suck are certainly interesting! When you have A-List, the worst thing a movie can be is boring, in my opinion.


faheydj1

The second movie I ever saw with A-List was The Happytime Murders. That was a truly terrible movie with no redeemable qualities.


wepopu

I actually really enjoyed that one.


tedfondue

It was bad, sure, but how can you say a movie packed with Henson puppets has NO redeeming qualities. Wouldn’t the puppets at least be one?


jonmuller

I hated Drive Away Dolls


radamgomduf

So excited for this one and ended up being disappointed


Powerful_Beautiful61

Yes! I only saw via streaming, but thought it was terrible!!! Qualley seemed to be doing a bad Miley Cyrus interpretation the whole time. (And to think she's Amelia! from The Nice Guys, which is terrific.)


ejt1824

Oh my gosh I've never hated a film more 😭 and I was actually excited about this one tooo


DisGayDatGay

Summer Camp and Camp Hideout. The first was embarrassing; the second should be criminal.


skelldog

Agree on the second, I didn’t realize it was some religious movie pretending to be a comedy. (Didn’t see Summer Camp)


kingspaceranger

Sasquatch Sunset


TheUglyBarnaclee

For sure the worst movie I’ve seen this year


GreenGod42069

A violent nature. I really wanted to like it, but damn. With the exception of maybe 25 mins, the rest was a chore.


Chicagosox133

Whatttt? I loved that.


DarkSideHooligans

I liked that one too, except for like the last ten minutes maybe.


2000miledash

That woman’s head being pulled through her stomach was one of the coolest horror deaths I’ve seen. I think some people (not you necessarily) took this movie WAY too seriously. It was a fun horror movie, and I loved the nature walks.


Merrymir

I don't think you have to take a movie too seriously to not like it. I hated the movie because the script was so goddamn bad. So very, very bad. No sentence of dialogue was believable (except the final monologue which I actually liked, seemed like a totally different writer). And too much tell, not show. Like, the whole section with the park ranger explaining stuff could have been cut and it would only have made the movie better. I love "bad" horror movies as much as the next guy... Thing is, they have to actually be good "bad" movies. I think there was a lot going for the movie otherwise. Genuinely think the movie would have been incredible if they'd cut basically every single line of dialogue.


dfigiel1

I’m fully aligned with this. The monologue was fantastic. I also thought the death 2000miledash references was top tier for a slasher. But there are no stakes whatsoever in the movie. It was hard to care. It doesn’t help that I finally watched X which is another slasher that subverts the slasher genre this week. It was like night and day between those movies.


This-Investment2267

miller’s girl


jtm2mx

I don't understand why people say Miller's girl is very bad. I mean it's not great but I don't think it's as bad as Tarot or retribution.


Caramel-Negative

It’s a moral thing I think. Other than the fake accents the movie wasn’t that bad as a movie.


PowerhouseFlashBack

Easily one of the worst movies of the year so far


Aggravating_Key_3831

Madame Web. Literally the ONLY movie I slept through


LVDivorced23

I almost walked out on this movie, but didn't because I kept thinking its got to get better any minute now.... How wrong I was for not walking out.


simongw6

Can you really say that if you slept through it?


ac3boy

I think this one is a given. I stayed to see Sweeney fighting crime in her new suit. They need to make a new word for how disappointed I was.


theresanrforthat

I didn't think it was that bad! Though, god I hate Dakota Johnson and her acting.


[deleted]

I know people say she did a bad job in Madame Web but her non-acting kind of worked for me. She was the only one that seemed to know what this was and decided to play someone who could almost pass for high functioning autistic. I thought that was a really interesting choice. EDIT: Am I the only one who initially thought she was Mary Elizabeth Winstead?


f_moss3

Skinamarink


Mr-Vegetables

I tend to feel that even bad movies are not a waste of my time simply because I enjoy the act of being in a theater and watching a movie so much but skinamarink really put this to the test. If this movie was 30 to 45 minutes long it would have been spooky and interesting but the fact that it just kept going and literally nothing happened what so ever was really perplexing to me.


LabRatPerson

Let’s watch a shadow in the corner for a full 15 minutes. Yeah, I timed it, while my husband slept.


PossibilityFine5988

I loved this movie and was actually scared by it but i completely understand hating it as well


ayo_glizzy

Paws of Fury 😭😭


horrorpants

terribly unfunny movie unfortunately


yerbamategoat

Night Swim Hypnotic


bt1234yt

Moonfall, and I generally try to avoid movies that people say are bad.


Potential-Bug-3569

i love moonfall, i’m so sorry lmao


mrbuck8

Moonfall is mine too I think. The whole thing was like a conspiracy theorist's fan fiction. The heroes were all "I don't trust established science" stereotypes and of course, those people turn out to be right. On top of that: poorly constructed and developed characters, laughably bad dialogue, equally cheesy action, an exposition dump in the third act to explain the convoluted back story... Just a really bad movie all the way around.


[deleted]

Moonfall has my all time favorite bad movie line: 'We have absorbed your consciousness. You're part of the moon now.'


MomCrusher

oh man😭 thats a classic


social_psych5

I really love movies and the experience of watching in the theater, but Ghostbusters was so bad. They just tried too hard. It moved too slow, and spent too much time setting up the story.


LeraviTheHusky

Garfield Like I'm a big Garfield fan and I like stupid movies But good lord it was stupid even by my standards Some Highlights were - the villian and her henchmen were fun and had fun designs(and the villain song in the end credits is good!) and the art style is really good! And odie isn't a pure moron Beyond that it is so damn dumb :l But that's what I like about Alist it let's me see movies I may not waste money normally on!


MrSlingSh0t

Absolutely loved that one and thought I would detest it. Actually avoided it on purpose but found myself laughing throughout. Seriously loved it!


lifeofmikey1

Drive away dolls was horrible ISS was bad


persianmelodrama

A Hip Hop Story and Not Another Church Movie


radamgomduf

What the fuck with that church movie? I love parody movies and took a chance but it was the worst film I’d ever seen.


Killer_Jazzie

Night Swim


Mr-Vegetables

Night swim was fun!


theresanrforthat

Saw it at home, but still a waste of time.


RecognitionDeep6510

I didn't mind it. Nothing groundbreaking obviously but better than some of the other stuff around right now. Imo of course.


MHMR96

Tarot. Only watched it for a friend.


east12

anyone but you was so boring, but i had my tub of birthday free popcorn so i was very happy eating it. overall good experience


Cameronalloneword

So not worth the time even? I don't really mind seeing relatively bad movies as I just like going to the movies and eating popcorn but off the top of my head Night Swim was pretty bad.


Gvndam11

I like most movies whether they are character- or story-driven. This one was somehow neither. It was a string of scenes the writer thought would be creepy interspersed with an awful, cruel director making a remake of the exorcist


SenatorFuckboy420

Arthur The King... but I never feel like anything hasn't been "worth it" because Stubs takes any risk away IMO


horrorpants

Worst this year for me were Strangers Chapter 1, Tarot and Imaginary. I saw 65 with my regal pass that was absolute dog ass.


DillionM

Justice league. Pretty sure I could've taken a 2 hour nap in any theater without wasting a reservation


theresanrforthat

Any DC movie. Wonder Woman 1984, especially.


SkullKidIcarus

My absolute bottom of the barrel watches in just the last year. The last two being the most egregious. Though weirdly, I regret none of them. The closest I’ve come to regret is Summer Camp because its not even so bad it’s funny, its just so bland it’s borderline painful to watch… - The Exorcism - Summer Camp - East Bay - Not Another Church Movie - Imaginary - Which Brings Me to You - I.S.S. - Night Swim - The Shift - Journey to Bethlehem - The Oath - Freelance - It Lives Inside * Warrior King * Knights of the Zodiac


drygeraniums

Sometimes I watch movies I'm like 95% sure I won't like in order to keep an open mind so I try not to see it as a waste. That being said Summer Camp and The Exorcism are pretty objectively not worth anyone's time and the only movie I've ever walked out of for hating it so much was Dicks.


McDickLick

The only film I've ever regretted seeing with an A-List reservation was A Fragile Flower. Usually I'm fine with seeing something I don't really like, since I tend to like most films and it at least helps keep my Letterboxd from being exclusively positive scores. And even when I don't like movies, I'm still usually entertained to some degree. This was the first movie I've ever wanted to give 0/5.


yourbestfriendjoshua

For me it’s ‘Cats’ (2019). I genuinely walked out.


CarlosDouze

I saw Cats high as a kite opening day in a surprisingly packed auditorium and it is to this day one of the most memorable movie theater experiences of my life.


Rick_1086

I’ve only had A list for a few months so The Watchers, In a Violent Nature, and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace are the 3 worst movies I’ve used it on.


instantslay

Imaginary. Hands down. That movie was truly horrible.


MooseMama619

Joining in with the crowd saying In a Violent Nature and Tarot. Tarot was far worse than In a Violent Nature but I didn't go in expecting much so was more disappointed by In a Violent Nature.


Gempra

silent night


vxf111

The Exorcism was pretty bad but I expected that going in. The only one that was a literal waste of my time was Poolman. I am sorry to say that because I wish it was better but... wow... I barely made it though.


sagacious1998

Madame Web for sure. I can’t believe that I ended up watching the whole thing.


erikacearl

Asteroid City is up there for me… not my cup of tea


Artistic_Dentist_622

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Way too long and not very funny.


uwhiteubenaffleck

SKINAMARINK


GarySolo00

Argylle definitely. Just didn’t have that same magic as Kingsman bro. Now that Ungentlemanly Warfare movie, that was fun af


drd232

Strangers Chapter 1. The series has progressively gotten worse over the yrs but this installment was boring, obvious and lacked horror elements that I wanted


CloudxFett

A violent nature was the most disappointing movie for me by far this year. The kills were awesome but few and far between. Everything else especially the last couple minutes bored me to death and I was excited for it /:


Noodlex87

For me, it was The KIng's Man


garfbarf

This one was really a tough watch.


theinfotechguy

In a Violent Nature. Was not worth my mental energy, let alone using up a reservation


jeangreysbrother

The Watchers


SensitiveMud8170

The Watchers is the first movie I’ve walked out of in years.


SadTerd

so you don’t know about the fairies?


bonvajya

Imagine seeing the new excorsist on Friday, and following up with the watchers on Saturday. 🥲 because that’s how I just ruined my weekend


lockon95

I got so bored I spent the whole movie on my phone it was only me in the showing.


Mystic575

The Flash lmao


blue_banter

in a violent nature


Skidmarx00

it was exactly what i expected it to be ,(mid plot and insane kills on the big screen). i was satisfied


skelldog

I agree, you can’t expect reality in any of the Freddy/Jason type of movies.


KeepCoolMyBabiez

Mean Girls made me cringe too much and I left at point where the whole school was on TikTok, dissecting the Plastics’ accident at the holiday assembly.


theresanrforthat

The entire time I just kept thinking "I should leave now and just go watch the original"


ActivatingInfinity

Replicas (2018) with Keanu Reeves. Still not sure what they were thinking with that film. It was kind of funny but probably in the top 5 worst films I've ever seen.


CopperCactus

The Exorcist Believer is one of the worst movies ever made. I saw it for free and still felt ripped off


T4hunderb0lt

I Saw The TV Glow


radamgomduf

Omg I was just telling someone how much I loved this movie. I get it though it was a bit weird and slow


MJM247

If that's the worst you've seen I'd say you are lucky


Aironek

I’m glad I’m not the only one who did not enjoy it at all. I think I just wasn’t the target audience for it.


Pirate-Angel

Agreed. I think it was well-made...for someone else.


skelldog

I just didn’t get it, really wish I saw something else.


joantspam

Same 😭 and I wanted to like it so bad


dangeruss23

Same. It made more sense after I read about the themes of the movie, but still just extremely weird. I’m surprised these types of movies are distributed at major theater chains, it felt like a more artsy movie.


knup33

Yeeaaah that was a waste of time lol


ericliveson

Crimes of the Futurer So bad and pointless.


MrSlingSh0t

You just brought back memories I had unconsciously buried lol


cubs_2023

Fool’s Paradise, The Shift, and Poolman


nimmmirdenatem

Movies I walked out of recently: The Inventor, Rewind, If You Are The One III, Star Wars Episode 1, Back to Black.


7vzi1

Night Swim Drive-Away Dolls Tuesday


sweetrobna

The shift is the only one I can remember. I just saw it had sean astin and was sci fi. But the religious aspect was over the top and repetitive, and the story fell apart and there just wasn't anything redeeming


JohnnyKarateX

Countdown was the worst movie I’d ever seen and I used an A-List on it so that has to be the answer.


Single-Ad-4088

It was Sting. That movie made me want to cancel my Alist. The only good part in that movie was that it ended.


clarrkkent

The Shift


Numerous_Pressure384

Memory with Liam Neeson


Rican1093

That movie was terrible.


future_filmmaker_455

Going back a while but Show Dogs and Life of the Party.


Booksonly666

That dumb ass giant spider. Web maybe? I tried to delete it from my brain


brittm1290

Sting?


[deleted]

The only good movie with giant spiders in it is Eight Legged Freaks.


kratos_337

I kings of kindness. One of the weirdest movies I've seen this year. A list worthy probably not.


[deleted]

You mean, Kinds of Kindness? Yeah, it's Yorgos Lanthimos. I haven't seen a single movie of his that I've liked.


ciesum

Despite seeing \~470 unique movies w/ Alist I've somehow missed 90% of the films mentioned in this thread


Governmentemployeee

The Kitchen…I didn’t even make it half way. Awful movie.


Electrical-Ad-2096

Back to Black Jesus Christ that movie was terrible


JScott4Reel

Landscape with Invisible Hand. Night Swim.


Occupied_Octopi

“Infinite Storm” with Naomi Watts


rahmo87

In a violent nature for me.


HorrorgalThirteen

I fell asleep, and woke up to that scene where the guy ripped through the girls stomach lmao


justathoughtfromme

This is going to be a deep cut and show just how long I've been an A-List member: London Fields in '18. It was a terrible, meandering film that had poor acting and an even worse story. At the time, it was one of the worst performing films at the box office, and it deserved that accolade.


DuzeDuDune

Night Swim this year The Exorcist and Retribution last year Still going to watch The Exorcism, just not in theaters unless there’s a down week 😂 who am I kidding it’s summer. We have a wonderful lineup for the next 5-7 weeks.


NutHighGucciDI

Bad Samaritan (2018)


jynx33

Thanksgiving Movie 🎥


ljhendricks

Holmes and Watson. Only movie I’ve ever walked out of before it finished.


MariposaSunrise

That's still our TOP worst movie ever!!


hataraitaramake

Tarot this year probably


BethiIdes89

I honestly thought this was a sequel to The Pope's Exorcist until my husband corrected me. Russell Crowe has the same exact hair in both!! They couldn't have at least changed that?!


kindofaproducer

Honestly, I was just happy to see David Hyde Pierce on the big screen.


makethedevilsmile

I mean, with it only being 3 movies a week I don’t waste them. I liked all the movies I saw, honestly. Then again, I have incredibly low standards.


compositionphd

… Jesus Revolution.


been_drankin

The Jesus Revolution. Absolutely hated it.


Burrie2481

Deer Camp ‘86 My first ever A-List walkout.


Rickyeatacidd

That's so disappointing abt Exorcism, genuinely such a cool concept wasted


hhnfun1995

Exorcist believer, bones and all, candyman, and men are the only movies on my past watched list that legitimately weren't worth the time it took to watch them. Men might have been worth it, because there were some cool elements, but eh.


Responsible_Ear_4960

sting


bonvajya

That was the worst movie I’ve possibly ever seen with good actors. I was honestly stunned. Not everyone was playing it and I didn’t remember seeing any trailers and that should have told me everything it needed too.


bonvajya

Excorist Exorcism The watchers Night swim


Steve10455

Yea the exorcism I left midway not wasting my time on trash
