Don’t Waste Your Time: 10 Absolute Worst Movies of All Time, According to IMDb

10. Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) — 1.7 IMDb Score

Don’t know about you, but we can’t shake off the feeling that Birdemic was created solely because someone drunkenly decided that the word was a good pun. The movie follows two brave heroes trying to save their town from murderous mutated birds, so yeah… Worse yet, there are also Birdemic 2 & 3 with even lower ratings.

9. Pledge This! (2006) — 1.7 IMDb Score

An explicit campus comedy following a beautiful and scheming sorority president as she tries to profit from an FHM sorority competition. Paris Hilton as a lead star. What could go wrong? Admittedly, everything. From terrible toilet humor to including gross and provocative scenes for the sake of it, Pledge This! is awful from start to finish.

8. Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) — 1.6 IMDb Score

Some no-budget horror movies make history, like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre; others, like Manos: The Hands of Fate, should have never been made in the first place. Allegedly following a family that stumbles upon a devil-worshiping cult that sacrificed strangers’ hands to Satan, the movie is too incomprehensible to watch.

7. Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004) — 1.5 IMDb Score

Children are quite easy to entertain, so it’s entirely up to their parents to protect them from movies like Superbabies. Trying to capitalize on kids, this film follows a group of smart-talking toddlers trying to save the world against an evil media mogul’s plot, but that doesn’t really matter as the only ones who need saving are this movie’s viewers.

6. Turks in Space (2006) — 1.5 IMDb Score

This Turkish sci-fi action comedy is so notorious that you’ll find it in every other “worst movies ever” list, and for a good reason. It’s a prequel to the first (even more sensational) movie that focuses on the original protagonist’s son as he works with his twin who doesn’t know that he’s a twin to save the world together. Just… Don’t.

5. Elk*rtuk (2021) — 1.5 IMDb Score

In 2006, the former Hungarian Prime Minister’s Öszöd speech was leaked, leading to a massive scandal. Elk*rtuk follows those events from the point of view of an ambitious market researcher who learns her boss was part of the reason the speech got leaked… But even the “based on real events” plaque can’t save this film.

4. Foodfight! (2012) — 1.3 IMDb Score

It genuinely feels like Foodfight! wanted to become the Toy Story of the world of corporate marketing but didn’t know how to movie. The animated feature is set in a supermarket where at night, various brands’ mascots come to life and have fun, but let us tell you this much: it looks horrendous, not even speaking of its other flaws.

3. Saving Christmas (2014) — 1.3 IMDb Score

If there’s ever been a worse Christmas movie idea than trying to prove that Jesus Christ was God’s “material gift” to people because God wants people to shop, don’t let us know: we don’t want it. Saving Christmas is terrible enough to make you hate Christmas as much as the protagonist’s brother (who actually just resents shopping).

2. Daniel – The Wizard (2004) — 1.2 IMDb Score

In 2002, Daniel Kublbock was the third runner up for the German Idols. Obviously, he didn’t win it, but he had a much better idea: why not make a movie where he stars as himself but hunted by evil assassins? We don’t think we need to explain just how miserably that idea manifested into reality, but Daniel definitely wasn’t The Wizard.

1. Smolensk (2016) — 1.2 IMDb Score

In 2010, Polish Air Force Flight 101 crashed in Smolensk, Russia, killing all 96 people on board and leading to drastic changes in Polish politics. This movie follows a fiery journalist who doesn’t believe the official stance on the tragedy… But this movie is largely dubbed as horrendous propaganda, not even talking about how poorly it’s made.
