Films that you regret watching

[Zack Alklazaris]

It was called Submerged http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218641/
It was the only dvd there (and by there I mean in a place where nothing but satellite can get through) and it was raining.

Its a movie about a plane crashing into the ocean and slowly sinking. It had a terrorist, a "hero", an fbi agent, a pregnant woman, a doctor, and an old war hero. Absolutely, completely cliche.

Picture Snakes on a Plane with no snakes and no Samuel Jackson.

I believe that movie came from the depths of hell itself. It sucked out my soul and I died. All of you are just my brain dying. Random sputters of consciousness trying to remember a life that once was.

I would say, Black Devil Doll. I feel dirty by just thinking about it. It's that kind of movie that you try to hive from your parents, and I'm a 22 years old man. It's not about the sex, though there are plenty of of those escenes, nor the violence or the cast, it's ALL the bloody movie. I hide it, because if my parents find out that I watched this film, they'll think that they wasted 22 years of their live by raisin and suppourting a "thing" that enjoys this kind of stuff.

It's a film 90 min too long featuring a darker version of childs play(darker as in black, and black as in... you know, the "N" word), with the twist that It end up raping and killing every one that happens to have more than 3 min of camera.

If this review seems a tad lacking, believe me, you aren't missing anithing that hasn't been done in other B movies, and better.

I don't usually regret movies that I've seen since I'm very picky about the movies that I watch and, these days, I hardly watch any movies at all. Most of the movies that I could regret I haven't seen all of, so I'm not sure if they count. If I had to throw in any movie though, it would have to be:

Skyline

I watched it when my mom got the movie and I only managed to catch it from the middle to the end. The movie frustrated me because they never seem to answer any of the questions that the movie raises. Also, for me, this movie has one of the worse endings to date. Screw cliffhangers. This thing ends on an action scene. To give you an idea of what I mean, imagine if in the movie Jurassic Park, the credits started rolling while the people were in the facility trying to evade the raptors. Or like in Star Wars, if the credits rolled while the space fight was going on just before Luke took the shot to take out the death star. Now take those two examples and imagine that while the credits were rolling, the rest of the scenario played out like stylized snapshots in the background. Even THEN it doesn't truely end. There's no resolution, no questions were answered, and you're just left there wondering what the heck you just sat through.
The ending ruined the movie for me (what parts I did see) because it felt like everything before that was just a waste of time. My mom, who did see the whole movie, was as baffled as I was, so I assume that I didn't miss any parts where a mystery was solved.

The Hunger Games- Terrible acting(main protagonist's emotions range from bland to crying over the death of a friend you barely know) and little to no info if you haven't read the books. Overall very confusing on how the system works and why certain things are done.

Example: why did the area rue came from riot? This has been happening for 74 years and they revolt now? Was rue somehow important to her area. Why was she so liked. How did the the male tribute from Rue's area know that Katniss buried her. How did he know Katniss treated Rue with respect?

Visitor Q

You may good sir have balls! I read that o wikipedia after seeing the cover at a friend's (BIG japnaese film watcher) and went "WHAT THE F**K" no film should be about People sucking there mother's brest.
The guy that made that film made the Phoenix wright movie, I'm too scared to watch it now...

I've heard of that film, and that scene is far from the most disturbing in it.

Also, Takashi Miike is the god of WTF horror, and the fact that he made the Phoenix Wright movie is...disturbing.

Having sex with your father for 50,000 yen and then charging 100,000 is pretty friggin' disturbing.

Once again the Escapist crowd has proven to be a silly bunch of complainers.

Napolean Dyanmite- Love this movie, and it's also great for sussing out those who lack a sense of humor and or a tad of life experience

Tideland- To whomever called Tideland an indy piece of trash try wikipediaing Terry Gilliam

Funny People- If all you saw was a bad comedy you weren't watching the movie, it's a look at comedians and where they draw their humour from.

Troll 2- It's called the worst movie ever made for a reason, check out some history behind it for more LOLs

Indie, Low Budget, B-Movie, etc... - Grow up people, if you only want to see films with Hollywood production values you're cutting yourself off from 99% of the interesting, thoughtful and thought provoking movies out there.

The Cat in the Hat. The live-action one. That just needs to have every copy burned. Also, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

 

[Hasido]

somehow, i have not regretted a movie that i have watched. though, this is probably due to the fact that i only watch movies i think i would enjoy.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

The Human Centipede - First Sequence. Film critics called it trashy shit with no purpose other than to shock its audience. I watched it on a dare, and more or less felt compelled to brush my teeth (and my tongue) four times in a row to try and wash away the filth.

This is literally Tom Six (fitting name for a director) going "A-hyuck! I've always wanted to make a film with disturbing imagery in it and I've got that part covered... But I can't think of a convincing plot or reason as to why that disturbing imagery would actually take place!

Oh well, back to Tired Horror Movie Clichés 101 for this one, then! The only thing that matters is my masturbatory level of attention on degrading concepts nobody, not even Wes Craven or Robert Kurtzman, would want to touch!

LOOK, MA! I WENT THROUGH FILM SCHOOL AND NOW I MAED A MOVIE!"

 

[Zydrate]

I wasted 3.50$ on Safe House. I was disappointed. It wasn't even a "This was horrible!" It's just stuff I've seen before.

 

[lowkey_jotunn]

Hostel.

I love horror flicks, scary movies, etc. and I'm not particularly bothered by blood or gore ... but a movie that's all about watching people get tortured to death just isn't a fun time for me.

The later SAW movies get close to that territory, too. First one was good, Jigsaw was an interestingly twisted character, his traps were more about screwing with people and less about "lets watch someone's body get horrible mangled," and the twist ending took me completely by surprise. Correction: twist endings, plural. The whole last 20 minutes was mind-fuck after perfectly choreographed mind fuck.


For the record, I thoroughly enjoy the occasional "bad" movies that venture into "so bad it's good" territory. The Expendables, Will Smith's Wild Wild West, Street Fighter movie (fucking Raul Julia cracks me up) Manos, Plan 9 from Outer Space, etc etc etc .. all terrible terrible movies, but fun to watch and make fun of with friends.

The whole torture porn genre is just gross, not creative, not fun, nothing that movies should be, and it needs to go away, imo ... or be limited to direct-to-DVD snuff lite for people who are into that sort of thing.

 

[Pink Gregory]

I 'unno, it can be amusing to see how ridiculously convoluted the Saw movies get; the first one was genuinely unnerving, before all that torture porn shite started, although there is amusement to be had at the piped-in 'splat' sound that's the equivalent of the Wilhelm scream.

 

[JamesStone]

Men who kill Lambs with their look, or whatever the fuck that was called. It was confusing, boring, idiotically preachy and completely insane, not in a good way. That piece of shit took hours away from my life.

OMFG YOU DISLIKE THINGS I DON'T U SUCH A WHINY ***** OMFG STFU GTFO.

This is what your post transmits. People have the right to their own opinions. Ironically, the siily complainer here is you, cause you are complaining because people don't like the things you do. So please shut your mouth and respect other people's opinions.

Titanic, I felt like someone stole 3 hours of my life and I even watched it on television. It was like watching some horrible accident, repulsed and at the same time unable to look away -_-

It becomes torelable if you subscribe to the fan theory that it was just a dream within a dream within a dream ... and the final test to DiCaprio's character in Inception. After all, he abandones Rose by letting himself go (basically what he needed to do in Inception with his wife) and goes deep within the ocean. In Inception, the movie starts by him waking up in a beach, clearly tired and wet. Connection? No, but it's fun to think as if it existed.

 

[TheDawgg]

Sunshine. I hate that film. I love the acting, but it's just too damn depressing.

 

[Jared Domenico]

Jason X. You really can not do any worse than Jason X.

 

[jhoroz]

Honestly, Hancock. It went from an average, mediocre, unremarkable film to a colossally retarded piece of shit in its last third, so much that I wanted to leave about ten minutes before the film actually ended.

Besides that, I'd probably say something like Epic or Disaster Movie, or any of those crappy parody movies.

EDIT: I normally don't regret watching any films because I research in advance whether the film is worth seeing or not. Hancock was an exception, because despite the overall luke-warm reception it received, I was surprised at what a colossal mess it was.

Really, there was actually enough space for them to both climb onto that door. I don't understand why Rose had to be so selfish. Tisk, tisk.

napoleon dynamite, human centipede, quarantine, and bug (fuck this film....worst film ever made. ever.)
