Our brave victim writer sits through the film site’s 0%ers to see what makes a bad movie. Will she emerge with her sanity intact – and are all these flops really so bad?

Currently 40 films on Rotten Tomatoes have earned two ignoble distinctions. First, they’ve received a 0% approval rating. Second, they’ve been reviewed 20 or more times, meaning they’re usually larger productions, not small indie misfires, thus granting them a position on the website’s Worst Films of All Time list.


In general, high-concept action films were the best to watch; whatever inanity was going on could be allayed by high-paced action set-pieces, ambitious stunts and campy villains. Not every one delivered, though: take Gotti, the biopic of mafia crime boss John Gotti with John Travolta (the actor appears three times on this list). With its frenetic pacing and multiple time jumps, it’s impossible to follow. Watching it in a post-lunch haze, I rewound the first 10 minutes about 10 times before realising I wasn’t the problem, it was the film.

1. K&R

A while ago, we watched "Wagons East" which was pretty bad, but worth watching for being John Candy's last film.

A really bad slasher film is "Death Proof"...easily Quentin Tarantino's worst movie (and Kurt Russell's too), but it was received well by critics & got a rating of 64% on Rotten Tomatoes. (The only thing I liked about it was that Mary Elizabeth Winstead was in it)

Another really bad movie is "Assault on Wall Street" (2013) which Wikipedia refers to as an "action thriller" (What a joke that is!)
It got an approval rating of 25% on Rotten Tomatoes (only 8 critics)

2. Death Proof is surprisingly bad, though it did introduce the world to

Zoe Bell, who turns out to be this amazingly fascinating person. If people watched Death Proof and were curious enough to then see the doc about Zoe Bell, Double Dare, maybe it was worth it.

The first twenty to thirty minutes of Death Proof is like an exercise in self-indulgence that he got away with by calling it "a homage."

3. Death Proof was trash

I watched it all the way through just to get it over with
