What is the worst film you have ever seen and why? - eviltoast

For me the shape of water was the worst film I’ve ever seen because the whole story was just so weird and ridiculous… An alien and a woman getting together.

The worst part about it is that critics at the time were praising the film…

    The Room by Tommy Wiseau. I know it’s like a cult classic for being bad, but the first time I watched it, I made sure to view it as unironically as possible. It’s an atrocious movie for what a movie should be.

    If you want to watch something cringy and terrible to mock and laugh at, this movie is so much better. But if you watch this movie wanting it to be a proper movie that took itself seriously (which was its original intention) it is fucking terrible.

      If anything it is unironically a psychological study into Tommy Wiseau ego, as he did the directing, writing and producing (and acting). It tells us more about his view of the world than any biography could ever.

        And technically competent! A detail you take for granted, unless you’ve watched absolute trash made by complete amateurs. The Room took off because it is professional garbage. You can clearly see and hear all of the stupidity.
