Midlands Movies Worst Films of 2015

I’m not going to waste anymore time explaining why these abominations are bad – if you’ve seen any of them then you will know – but suffice to say, Fantastic Four was a real gem of a mess. The well publicised struggles between the director and the production company 20th Century Fox was a Summer highlight with the daily press narratives well worth following and almost deserving of its own behind-the-scenes documentary.

Aside from that, from dullness and incomprehensibility to hollow CGI and actors who couldn’t care less, these films were not just the worst of their genres but lessons in how to make huge mistakes. It's also worth noting that at least 3 of these made me physically angry (Vice, Gallows and Knock Knock) so brave any viewing of them at your own peril.

12. Fantastic Four
11. San Andreas
10. Knock Knock
9. Kidnapping Freddy Heineken
8. Survivor
7. Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead
6. Jupiter Ascending
5. Exodus: Gods and Kings
4. Inherent Vice
3. The Interview
2. The Gallows
1. Vice

Please note Vice stars Bruce Willis who has now been at number 1 of the worst of the year for 3 out of the last 4 years. Well done Bruce!
