Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is undoubtedly the worst film I've watched this year (and probably the decade thus far), but at least its withdrawn trailer with fabricated quotes managed to provide some entertainment. Can’t say the same for the other wretched releases this year.
Ranging from overrated fart-house darlings, awful remakes, and made for Tubi slop, here's a list of films which were the nadir of the year for me:
Apartment 7A (Natalie Erika James)
Borderlands (Eli Roth)
La Chimera (Alice Rohrwacher)
The Crow (Rupert Sanders)
Cuckoo (Tilman Singer)
The Fall Guy (David Leitch)
Gladiator II (Ridley Scott)
I Saw the TV Glow (Jane Schoenbrun)
The Killer (John Woo)
Lisa Frankenstein (Zelda Williams)
Maid Droid Origins (Rich Mallery)
Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola)
Night Swim (Bryce McGuire)
Thelma (Josh Margolin)
Trap (M. Night Shamalamadingdong)
Uglies (McG)
Under Paris (Xavier Gens)
V/H/S/Beyond (Jay Cheel, Jordan Downey, Christian Long, Justin Long, Justin Martinez, Virat Pal, Kate Siegel)
Did you know the inspiration for Eli Roth's cinematic turd that was Borderlands was inspired by his French bulldog taking a dump? True story.
