2011 Films - Worst 10

A seemingly strong cast, which also features the deadly cute Katie Holmes. Sadly, a strong cast doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a strong film, which is something we have learned more than often enough. It's the case here as well. Every character in this film is completely shallow and wasted.



The film features a plot that is completely illogical, driven forward with the help of poorly structured flashbacks. At times it appears to be style over substance, but it is never made completely clear what it tries to do. The style is needless and there is barely any form for substance in it. This is how to not tell a story.

The Evolution of Katie Holmes by The_Dash08

This is a Norwegian crime franchise. It's not a good one. Out of eight or nine, or seven films, there might just be like only two or three that is actually good. This is one of the poorer efforts. While Trond Espen Seim is as comfortable as he can get in the leading role, he alone ain't enough to save this from being a poor, predictable "Tv crime-film".



Seim's scenes with Bjørn Floberg have always been one of the highlights in these films, which they are again. They have good chemistry, but that is basically the only thing this film has going for it. The murder mystery is bland, predictable and unengaging. It takes the easy way out, and offers no thrills or suspense. It's boring.

Norwegian Film History by Nattkrypet

Thirty minutes into this film it takes a rather odd, but slightly unexpected turn. Changing from a very generic thriller build-up into something... else. The thing is, I don't know what it tries to do. It just gets weird. But whatever it tried to accomplish, it definitely failed. This is a terrible film that manages to do exactly what you aren't supposed to do in a film like this. It's odd, yes, but it still manages to bring in every cliche from these type of films. It's a clumsy, lazy soulless mess.



It's completely lacking in suspense, tension, energy, character development (particularly motivation) and an effort to create something worth watching. The worst thing about it is however that they included Christoper Lee in it, only to give him a role that had absolutely no purpose! It gets some points for a few steamy bath scenes with Hilary Swank, but loses some again for making her take on a top one second after coming out of the water. No one does that.

The 12 Worst Movie Neighbours by jay-jay

Somehow I did have some hopes for this film. Just the idea of there being something creepy about 11.11.11 is interesting for me. But that's basically the only thing this film has to offer, because it's terrible in nearly every way. The direction is terrible, the film is completely lacking any atmosphere or suspense, not even the jump scares are anywhere close to being effective.



The plot and script is also an insult, focusing more on awful exposition than creating something remotely good, even worse is that silly excuse for an ending that this film has. Darren Lynn Bousman might have done a decent job with Saw, but did he really have to use so goddamn many flashbacks to explain something so utterly stupid?

Hail Satan! by lus-k

I did consider watching I and II again before I took on this sequel, however I figured out that they probably wouldn't be connected anyway. And they weren't exactly masterpieces either, so I guess it was a smart choice. Now, I knew most of this film were going to suck. Yet, I did have some hopes for some good nudity and some sweet kills and grotesque violence. Well, oh bugger, I was mistaken.



Because there is only one kill that I think belongs into this series. One kill. Out of five or six or so. That's not good enough. Even the nudity ain't on a high enough level to justify this film. There might be possibly one girl that I would approve, but I'm severely disappointed. I'm not going to bother in mentioning anything else, as you know it's crap. The only redeeming qualities it SHOULD have were the violence and nudity. It didn't.

Dirty Revenge by Cactuson

The biggest issue with The Moth Diaries is that it's so boring it could be considered a cure for insomnia. It runs for only approximately 82 minutes, but it manages to feel twice as long. It's a teen-emo horror film that deals with vampires, sexuality, anorexia and anxiety. Yet it's never able to handle those subjects, resulting in this dull film.



It does attempt to create a mysterious, icy and chilling atmosphere, loaded with lesbian eroticism and suspense, but it falls short on achieving that. Shooting your film through drab blue filters, while having your actresses wander around looking strange and freaking out don't necessarily create that required atmosphere. What we're left with here is rote, tired stuff that feels just as unimaginative as it's dreadfully boring.

The evolution of Lily Cole by Lia

The only good thing in this film is that Emily Browning is naked for the most part of it. But even that does eventually get less interesting in this film that is just NOT interesting in any way whatsoever. It's a film that is so desperately trying to be important and to make a statement about something, but whatever it is trying to say, it fails in doing so. Resulting in one of the worst films of last year, and a film that has good chances of curing insomnia.



Not to mention that Julia Leigh, the director, has an incredibly boring vision. There is nothing in this film. There is no creativity in it. There is nothing to think about when it's over. There is nothing to think about when it's going on. Nothing. It offers nothing. There are just some naked girls, old men talking random bullshit, and weak attempts to create something meaningful. I hate it when films tries to do that, but fails miserably.

Troubled Youth by DeathWish

Swedish thriller that's incredibly close too get on my "hate"-list. This is easily one of the most generic, unoriginal, cheap and soulless films I've seen in a while. I was so bored. So bored! It's just a rehash of ideas from other, better films, which is thrown together to create this suspenseless mess. If this was an American film, it would have been massacred by everyone.



The film does the dreadful choice of showing the killer early. It's some old man, with some sick, perverted ideas. He doesn't really come of as any real threat actually, it's just that the two characters who are on the run are as stupid as two ducks. Then the film tries to include some kind of story on the killer, but it leads absolutely no where? Why bring in his family if you're not going to take it any further? The same thing goes for the lead character. They hint to some kind of suicide in the family, but why not take it any further? What kind of character development is this? It's just incredibly lazy writing!

The only reason this staying clear from the lowest possible score is because they introduce to a German, who provides some of the few interesting moments this film has to offer.

Swedish Film History (2001- by Nattkrypet

This is a film that is so horrible that I wanted to break up with my girlfriend for making me sit through this enormous pile of garbage. (Not really, I love her. Hey, even she didn't like. Which is a good thing!) This is a film that's so painful to watch that it hurts my soul.



It's not funny, it reminds me too much of Sex and the City, it's viewpoints of females "struggles through each day" is ridiculously outdated. It's a failure in every way. And Sarah Jessica Parker is the worst thing that has happened in the history of cinema.

2011 Films - Best to Worst by Bml93 (Myself)

Be careful when you buy DVD's, so you don't end up buying the wrong film. I did, and noticed to late. I could have gone back to the store and returned it, but instead I decided to give it a go. Well, it's one of the worst films I've ever seen.



It's dreadful in every way. Terrible effects, outrageous acting and dialogue, lame story and absolutely zero entertainment. Apparently this film is made by some studio who makes crap, and names the title similar to Hollywood blockbusters, in hope that some will buy the wrong film. I'm ashamed to say that I fell for it.
