Top 10 – Worst Films of 2018

Each year I find this list harder to put together considering I feel I make better choices when it comes to which films that I find myself watching. But obviously you are still going to come across some pretty awful films. I would just like to put a reminder on that this is obviously just my opinion! (You can check which films I saw at the cinema during 2018 here and 2018 films tagged here).  This all done by UK release date as well!

Here are the films that made it onto my top 10 worst of 2018 list . . .

10. Mary Magdalene (Review)

This is probably the closest I have ever come to just leaving the cinema during a film, everything about this film was slow and boring. Including the emotionless performances which made it feel even longer.

9. Red Sparrow (Review)

I just totally disliked everything about this film, the shocking way of saying sex is the way to manipulate anyone and everyone to the disturbing scenes in “training” then the way the accents drifted in and out of the film. Either do the accents or don’t bother!

8. The Happytime Murders (Review)

We can all accept that Melissa McCarthy is very hit or miss. This one was a very big miss, in with some crazy muppets in a crime world just does not work at all. Not even a little bit.

7. Brad’s Status (Review)

When his son is choosing a college Brad reflects on his life . . . Showing that things were pretty dull as he tries to compete with his own college friends. A film a felt was trying to be relevant but was a total snooze fest!

6. A Wrinkle in Time (Review)

I still have no idea at all what this film was supposed to be about and what the point of it was? If anyone would care to explain that would be fantastic!

5. Ghost Stories (Review)

It’s never a good thing when horror films are given the scariest film in years in promos. It is not going to live up to that expectation at all, this jumped between the ghost stories blurring reality and it just created a big boring mess.

4. Set It Up (Review)

Netflix has given us some very impressive original films this year, Set It Up is not one of them. Totally falling into the terrible rom-com genre of being so predictable you might as well turn it off after five minutes. To make this one even worse the storyline was very poor and well not very nice at all.

3. The Little Stranger (Review)

Domhnall Gleeson don’t worry I still love you! Everyone makes mistakes with roles, and hopefully this is his one and only mistake. The film moved at a remarkably slow pace that months later I am still waiting for something to happen. It tried to be creepy but failed with how bored you ended up being. A terrible ending as well which did not help.

2. Downsizing (Review)

This film was well disappointing and I almost forgot about it, luckily I was reminded about it on Twitter as it more than deserves to be in worst film lists. From the trailers the concept looked interesting but the actual reality of the film was terrible.

1. The Festival (Review)

I will openly admit that I was probably not in the target audience for this film, but thought well  it might be funny. Oh I was very wrong, it was not funny. It was awful from start to finish and it also confirmed why I have never ever been to a music festival.
