hands down it's The Open House. starring that guy from 13 reasons why.
i can't. there are no words how awful this is. there was zero conclusion. ZERO.
at least those chick flicks or romcoms with like 10% score on rotten tomatoes will somewhat have a point and a conclusion. this one doesn't.
i was going through movies i've watched the last 2 years to rewatch something and when i saw this title i was just angry all the sudden when i remembered how it was such a waste of time lol
I haven't seen that movie, but I'll be sure to avoid it. For me, there are two movies that are at rock bottom on my list. Unfortunately, I paid to see them both in theaters so they were a waste of time and money.
- The Mod Squad (1999)
- Battlefield Earth (2000)
They were so stupid and boring. I'm not usually the type of person to walk out on a movie because I feel like if I can make it to the end at least it won't be a total waste. But there was nothing redeemable about those movies, so I felt like I gained more by walking out early.
A lot of the DC movies for me. The ex liked to watch a lot of movies and I sat through them all. I especially hated aqua man, it was so bad. I wasn’t allowed to talk during the movie which is my favorite part if I hate it. So I’d sit there and read.
The Oogiloves in the big balloon adventure. I remember when it was being advertised in theaters and thinking “why the HECK is a bootleg teletubbies show being displayed HERE”? Judging from reviews of it, my thoughts were correct. I HATE that Cary Elwes got dragged into it...
Also Norm of the North had NO reason to be in theaters.
I despise Cujo so much even when I first watched it as a kid. All I remember was a mother and her child trapped in a car for days because of this dog having rabies and going wild. Nothing much else happened aside from that.
i lost my body or j'ai perdu mon corps. as lovely as it was, i just didn't really see a point. it was a neat idea but there was nothing to the story. pretty average slice of life.
The M. Night Shymalan version of Avatar: The Last Airbender is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. The special effects were poor, the acting was stilted, and all the life from the original characters was stripped away. It’s the peak of awful cartoon adaptions. I deeply hope Netflix uses this film as an example of what not to do.
one that always comes to mind is the last half hour of mamma mia 2 lmao. it was pointless, i spent 30 minutes of my life waiting for cher to come and sing a nice little song. i was not impressed. also the mamma mia films as a whole were really average.
I liked that movie when I was a kid too! Omg all this time I thought it was in my imagination....
Post automatically merged:
Along time ago, I would constantly watch this movie called “Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss” over and over again. It was a Romeo and Juliet story but with seals and... I find it cringy as heck now but loved it when I was younger.

LOL i came here to talk abt this specific film. I remember being disinterested in it even when i saw it as a kid. Recently my gf and i watched it as a “haha let’s make fun of the bad movie” thing, but it was so... mediocre that we just had to shut it off like an hour in
It was a horror movie released in the big horror boom of the mid-2000s headlined by franchises like Saw and The Grudge. Being an Old(tm), I was in middle school at the time, so my friends and I were soon scouring the dregs for new horror movies at sleepovers every weekend. Eventually this one popped up and good lord.
At first it was pretty standard fare - nothing to write home about, good or bad. A dude and his wife are driving one night and they almost hit this girl who wanders into the road and then it turns out she was a ghost and she keeps showing up haunting them while they go about their lives. You had stuff getting thrown around the house, orbs appearing in photos, the bog standard scene where the ghost wakes them up at night. You know, the usual stuff. Speaking of The Grudge this movie pretty much completely ripped it off (evil Japanese ghost girl haunts a pretty blonde white girl who's just trying to live her best life).
And then the plot twist happened. I'll put it in a spoiler tag so people who are easily triggered won't read it accidentally. It involves some kinda nasty stuff, including how the ghost girl dies.
So the ghost, as it turns out, wasn't haunting the dude and his wife randomly after they almost hit her. She was haunting them because she used to have a crush on the dude and would stalk him while she was alive, and is still obsessed with him in a super yandere "I love you but I want to torture you" way. The dude didn't think ghost girl was hot enough for him (or something, I can't really remember. I do remember he's a professional photographer who works with bikini models and he cheats on the wife with them) so he concocted a plan to get rid of her. He slipped something into her dinner and then took her to a room where his buddies took advantage of her while he photographed the whole thing to blackmail her to leave him be. Out of pain and humiliation, the ghost girl took her life. Ghost girl shows the dude's wife the photos (which he not only developed even after she died, but kept for some otherworldly reason) and the dude's wife leaves the dude in disgust. The whole movie it was implied that the ghost girl was riding the dude's back like a monkey, and at the end you see the dude in an asylum with the ghost girl hugging him from behind and smirking.
It was just a movie that tried to tackle subject matter well out of its depth. The dude was presented as the main character - a bit of a perv and disloyal to his wife, but have you seen those bikini models amirite teenage-boys-who-are-our-target-audience hyuck hyuck. But more than that, the ghost girl, who was technically a victim, spent the majority of the movie acting like a stereotypical evil ghost until the final reveal. Which was like 10 minutes before the movie ended. There were a few clues dropped, but they were all told from the dude's perspective. I wound up feeling sympathy for the dude when I didn't want to, and not feeling sympathy for the ghost girl when I did want to. Overall, the very definition of a movie where I wasn't scared or grossed out (in a Saw way), I just wish I had never seen it because I was offended that I wasted 2 hours of my life watching it.
Just looking at the movie poster reminds me of another useless one: Free Birds. I think I watched it at one point but my cloudiness of remembering it shows that it was bad lol.

oh man I cannot wait to tell my husband about this thread lol. He and a few of his friends did a short horror movie review podcast and one of the movies was The Open House, and man did they ever hate that movie. It was god awful. Whenever we see a horrible movie, we often compare it to The Open House, as well as another horror movie called Temple. Both very unsatisfactory endings
As for non-horror movies, a fun one is The Room, by Tommy Wiseau (as long as you're 18+ lol)
