WORST FILMS
1 - One Missed Call
Tomatometer: 0%
One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks.
2 - Strange Wilderness
Tomatometer: 0%
Strange Wilderness is a laugh-free comedy that's both aimless and overly crass.
3 - Deal
Tomatometer: 0%
Employing multiple cinematic clichés and milking stale performances, Deal proves inadequate for even the lowly regarded poker movie genre.
4 - Witless Protection
Tomatometer: 0%
Larry the Cable Guy continues his critical losing streak with this insipid, tasteless caper comedy.
5 - Disaster Movie

Returning to their seemingly bottomless well of flatulence humor, racial stereotypes, and stale pop culture gags, Friedberg and Seltzer have produced what is arguably their worst Movie yet.
6 - Meet the Spartans
Tomatometer: 2%
A tired, unfunny, offensive waste of time, Meet the Spartans scrapes the bottom of the cinematic barrel.
7 - The Haunting of Molly Hartley
Tomatometer: 3%
The Haunting of Molly Hartley is a rather lifeless horror endeavor, with a pedestrian plot and few scares.
8 - In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale
Tomatometer: 4%
Featuring mostly wooden performances, laughable dialogue, and shoddy production values, In the Name of the King fulfills all expectations of an Uwe Boll film.

88 Minutes is a shockingly inept psychological thriller that expertly squanders the talent at hand.
10 - The Hottie & the Nottie
Tomatometer: 5%
The Hottie and the Nottie is a crass, predictable, and ineptly staged gross-out comedy that serves little purpose beyond existing as another monument to Paris Hilton's vanity.
