When thinking about the last decade, there are countless excellent movies that come to mind right off the bat. From Inception to Interstellar, we've been wowed by some truly amazing titles on the big screen. However, not all movies that came out since 2010 are worth your money and your time. In fact, some of them are so bad it's a bit of a mystery how they even received funding for their production in the first place.
If you're morbidly fascinated by horrid movies, look no further, because we've prepared this list of 10 worst movies of the decade, according to the ratings of IMDb and ranked from least bad to the absolute worst.
10 Jack And Jill (2011) - 3.3
Comedy is one of the hardest genres to nail because humor is subjective, and it definitely shows in this tacky comedy piece from Adam Sandler, where he plays both Jack and his twin sister Jill. As Thanksgiving is rolling around, Jack must unfortunately put up with his socially inappropriate twin sister Jill coming over for the holidays and embarrassing him.
While Sandler does a decent job at giving us a good chuckle with Jill's air-headed character, the movie is your typical tacky comedy with worn-out jokes and a predictable storyline guaranteed to put you asleep halfway through.
9 The Open House (2018) - 3.2
Netflix has been the driving force of pushing more original ideas and low budget movies to the masses past Hollywood's standards. While most of it has been pretty good, The Open House is not. As mother Naomi (Piercey Dalton) and son Logan (Dylan Minnette) struggle after losing their husband and father, they move into a beautiful house in the isolation of a small mountain village.
In typical horror movie fashion, strange things begin to happen in the house after an open house viewing, from objects getting moved and strange noises. As we try to figure out who's responsible for all this, we're struck by how predictable most of the scares are and how unsatisfying the story ends up being.
8 Slender Man (2018) - 3.2
Based on the incredibly popular creepypasta, as well as the Slender: Eight Pages game that took the Internet by storm, Slender Man is a horror movie that aspires to be more than it ends up being. A group of young girls decide to summon the famed Slender Man through a special ritual, and consequently end up haunted by a strange creature.
Unfortunately, the movie failed to deliver an appropriately creepy experience and instead ended up being a boring, cookie-cutter horror movie where kids are chased by a demon of sorts. Although based on an original idea, it came out at a time when the Slender Man tale had already become stale even on the Internet.
7 Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star (2011) - 3.2
Hollywood comedy movies seem to be the place where the careers of comedians go die. A great example is Nick Swardson in Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star, a movie that would have been much better off never made nor released. When Bucky, a childish mama's boy from a rural town, discovers that his parents are famous adult movie actors, he decides to chase stardom and move to Hollywood.
Not only is this movie your typical countryside boy meets the city kind of story that we've seen a million times, but it's also not a particularly entertaining version of the trope either. Most of the movie is peppered with boring innuendos and gross, tasteless jokes about the male body, which might be entertaining to a ten-year-old, but not to most audiences.
6 The Starving Games (2013) - 3.2
No one can deny that the Hunger Games franchise has been a huge success, and we've loved every moment of Katniss' struggle. However, what we don't love is this comedy rendition of the series' first movie called The Starving Games, a movie that looks like it was imagined and produced by a child.
Just as in the original film, Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) competes in the annual Starving Games instead of her sister. Through cringy Internet culture references such as The Annoying Orange, Angry Birds and even The Avengers, the movie delivers an eye-roll-inducing experience that we wish no one had to go through.
5 Left Behind (2014) - 3.1
Based on the novel of the same name, Left Behind tells the tale of the end of the world, where those who believe in God disappear and are supposedly taken to heaven while the rest must endure the apocalypse. With Nicholas Cage as the main character and the father of the family thrown into the thick of things, one would think this movie would give us something worthwhile.
While one could take the story as sort of a science fiction movie, the preachy and superior tone of the writing isn't lost to anyone. Ultimately, nobody can deny that this movie is more about fulfilling a religious agenda than about teaching any tangible life lesson.
4 The Human Centipede III Final Sequence (2015) - 2.7
When it comes to the most disgusting concepts in the world of horror films, The Human Centipede franchise is certainly up there. In its third installment, however, we're taken to a prison that struggles to deal with its troublesome inmates. Bill Boss (Dieter Laser), the prison's warden, along with Dwight Butler (Laurence R. Harvey), then decide to turn the inmates into the longest human centipede mankind has ever seen.
While the franchise itself is a bit of a disgrace in just how disturbingly awful it is, the third movie doesn't get any better. This one is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel, with how awfully tacky and edgy it tries to be.
3 The Oogieloves In The Big Balloon Adventure (2012) - 2.0
Children's movies are obviously not the best entertainment for adults, but that doesn't mean we don't get to judge them. In this monstrosity that looks like a mashup of all the early 2000s morning TV shows for kids, the Oogieloves are planning a birthday party when they lose their magic balloons and must set out to find them.
Obvious cringe aside, the movie has been criticized as being far too long for the age group that would most likely watch it. Not to mention, some have argued that the vocabulary is too complex for the target age range. It sounds like someone just wanted to recreate the children's movie trope for fun, and not actually entertain children.
2 Birdemic: Shock And Terror (2010) - 1.8
If you've ever wanted to know what a movie made by someone who doesn't have any idea how to make movies looks like, look no further than Birdemic. Considered one of the worst movies of all time not just by IMDb, the movie is supposed to be a romantic horror film inspired by Hitchcock's The Birds.
Instead, absolutely everything about this movie is awful. The acting is stiff and amateurish, the story is completely unoriginal, and the actual birds in the movie are poorly edited on top with the most basic Movie Maker skills one could imagine. And yes, this is meant to be a serious movie.
1 Saving Christmas (2014) - 1.4
If you thought we were done with movies that have an ideological agenda, you were terribly wrong. Saving Christmas is about one man's battle to end the "bad" Christmas that we have today, filled with consumerism and lack of religious rites or remembrance of the "true" origins of Christmas.
Since people usually look to movies for entertainment, it's no wonder so many people dislike this movie for the arrogant tone it adopts. It dismisses any other way of celebrating Christmas, and come across as a preachy, ideological dive into religion.
