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!

With a number of acclaimed films under his belt including Cosmo, Gone Fishing and The Morgue Party, Jonathan Hawes now launches his latest short film, Sorry We're Closed, a quirky comedy-drama centred around fish and chips. Midlands Movies Mike Sales speaks to the writer/director about his latest project, his influences and his next plans for the film.
Well, bi-Adolf Hitler BDSM is not something (a) I thought I’d ever see 5 minutes into a movie and (b) ever expected to write in my lifetime to be fair but this spicy start is pretty standard for the work of exploitation filmmaker Russ Meyer.
On the 24th of April, the Midlands Art Centre opened its doors to Gobby Flicks Productions for a night of live comedy. Proceeds were raised towards the production of new short comedy films, directed and written by women.
