The Worst movie ever made

It's not the worst movie ever, but pretty high in terms of 'worst adaption'.

Halo: The Fall of Reach

Reach doesn't fall in the movie, it only covers the child abduction and initial training of the Spartans. It also shoehorns in the awful Halo 5 redesigns of Blue teams armor. The Covenant only appear in the last 5 minutes of the movie during an early engagement with one of their ships and then the film jumps ahead to Blue team meeting up on a post-glassed Reach to set 'something' up.

It is bad.

A Serbian Film is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. If edgy teens on the internet could make a film it would be A Serbian Film. The whole thing is supposedly metaphor for how bad it is to live in Serbia but it's so try hard and ridiculous it's hard to take seriously. One scene involves a dude killing another dude by stabbing him in the eye with his rock hard dick.

Manos is certainly bad but it has a mostly coherent story, you can generally see and hear what you're supposed to, and there's nothing really screwy like changing the cast partway through.
Monster a Go Go is worse.

The mini-series "Amerika". Was on ABC in early 1987. Set ten years after a Soviet takeover of the USA. Robert Urich and Kris Kristofferson, among others, were in it. Was only shown once, thank God. For some reason some years ago bought the series on VHS. I couldn't stand watching it then, either, years after the Soviet Union collapsed. Have no idea what I did with it, and I don't care.

I liked Beverly Hills Ninja when I first saw it, mostly because of Chris Farley's earnest performance. Second time I watched it, I was kind of "meh" about it. I don't remember it being actively bad, though. It had charm.

Monster A Go-Go was a lazy attempt to salvage an unfinished film. How hard could it be to make a rubber monster costume and film it fake-thrashing some cops in a tunnel? It's not much of a climax, but it's better than the wet fart ending that the film wound up having.

I just don't understand how no one at ABC put their foot down and ordered them to aim for 2 or 3 nights, rather than SEVEN.

When the decision was made to make the mini-series the "Russians are going to take us over!" fantasy was in full swing. Happened from 1984 to mid-1986. Then people woke up, realized the truth, laughed, and forgot about the whole thing. By that time the mini-series was likely in post-production. Had to show it to get some money back.

Amerika was shown just after Chernobyl had happened. It was obvious by then what a paper tiger the Soviet Union was, and Glastnost was in full swing by then. The Berlin Wall would fall just 2 years later.

It's not the worst, but the most boring film I've ever sat through was Helvetica.

It's a documentary about the world's most boring font. All I can remember was a whole lot of examples of it on signs and logos, and pretentious people talking about how great it is, exactly like how you'd picture a pretentious person waxing poetically about abstract art that's just a bunch of shapes and paint splatters.

I don't know what I was expecting.

Gonna have to say After Last Season. With a budget of 5 million dollars, who could a film be made so poorly with that amount of money? To put that in comparison, The Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Napoleon Dynamite, Clerks, Mad Max and Halloween all had budgets under 1 million dollars. It is so mind numbingly boring and the color pallet is dryer than the Savannah Desert, editing is some of the worst I've ever seen ever, oh boy the set designs are crap, literally made of cardboard. lighting is crap, audio mixing is terrible, horrible cinematography, visual effects bad, horrible acting etc. Everything is so awful, if you wanna punish yourself, go right ahead and watch this crappy movie.

The theory is that it was some kind of "The Producers" like scam where the director of the movie pocketed the money, made it for far less than he'd budgeted it for, then claimed it as a loss on his taxes. It is possible that it was a director's actual vision and an earnest attempt to make a film (after all, Birdemic exists and the guy who made it was apparently earnest about it,) but yeah, After Last Season has got to be the least entertaining bit of media ever created. It is ANTI-Entertainment because there's enough going on in the movie to keep a bare minimum level of interest, so you can't just blow it off the way you could some "art" movie that's just a camera pointed at a pair of shoes for 8 hours. But there's not enough happening to actually engage you, other than noting how crappy everything is, which gets really old after awhile.
