Harry Situation’s Bottom 5 Worst Movies of 2018
Alright, thanks for checking out my list for the Top 10 Best Movies of 2018, and to treat you with my list for, what I believe, are the Bottom 5 Worst Movies of 2018. As much as there were plenty of movies that were good and I liked, I have to admit that 2018 was also a year of disappointment. So many other movies that I was really looking forward to see ended up letting me down. Well now’s the time to talk about the ones that left an awful stench after viewing them. It’s kinda of a Ying-Yang relationship here. If we gotta give praise to the best, we also gotta talk shit about the worst.
Like with my Best list, my rules for placement are simple:
1) This list was organized based on my personal thoughts of the movies. Again, these are just my opinions for the best. And the movies listed are all movies that I’ve seen. I haven’t seen every movie released this past year because I don’t want to spend my money on really shitty movies. So if you’re hoping that a movie like Fifty Shades Freed or Mortal Engines would be on this list, I’m sorry to say that I haven’t had the chance to see those movies yet (and I doubt I’ll ever review them anytime soon). Also, if you don’t agree with with my choices and listings, that’s fine. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions after all. If there’s a movie you feel that should be on this, fill free to make a mention in the comments, and feel free to create your own list of what you feel are the worst movies of 2018. I would be interested in reading your list.
2) In order to be placed on my Worst Movies list these movies must have received a D+ to an F on my grading scale, and have the hashtag ThisMovieSucks in the review.
3) These are not reviews. I’ve already reviewed these movies before, but I will give brief synopises of my final thoughts for each film. Links to these reviews will also be provided in case you ever want to read them again or you haven’t checked them out yet.
First, here are a couple of Dishonorable Mentions:
-Pacific Rim Uprising
-Fahrenheit 451
And just for addition, here a few anticipated movies that disappointed me:
-Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
-Pacific Rim Uprising
-Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
I know that Pacific Rim Uprising appeared twice, but that’s because I was so disappointed by how much it sucked. Alright, let's shit on this list with...
5. The Nun

Final Thoughts: The Nun was a dull horror film set before the incredible Conjuring series. It’s basically everything you’d expect from a horror film, including all the goddamn jumpscares. Seriously, it’s just jumpscare this, jumpscare that. Check your phone, jumpscare! Off to the store to get some milk, jumpscare! Jumpscare, bloody, jumpscare! I’ve had it with jumpscares! How about you?
4. The Titan

Final Thoughts: You know, I completely forgot that this movie existed. Seriously, I had to dig through all my reviews until I found this one and then remembered that I did watch and reviewed it. And then I also remembered that it sucked! To be fair about this movie it had a cool idea. Human experiments to turn them into an evolved species made to be habitable on another planet. But a cool idea does not make up for the lack of storytelling and depth, and for the fact that it was just uninteresting.
3. The Open House
Link to Review: https://theprose.com/post/200462/harry-situation-reviews-the-open-house
Final Thoughts: Ha, I just realized that the majority of the films on my list have the word ‘The’ in the title. So remember, if you’re a film student and you don’t want your movie to suck, leave out the word ‘The’. Any who, The Open House was one of the first films I reviewed in the beginning of 2018, and I’m ending it by labeling it as one of the worst films to ever come out in 2018. A Netflix suspense movie with zero suspense and even more generic than the last two entries listed.
2. Death Wish (2018)
Link to Review: https://theprose.com/post/220145/harry-situation-reviews-death-wish-2018
Final Thoughts: And the winner of pointless remake/reboot goes to... Death Wish (2018). Congradulations, movie, you suck. I mean seriously, this was just a totally pointless remake that didn’t need to be made. Eli Roth has done a good job proving why I don’t like him as a director. And Bruce Willis, what happened to him? All life, emotion, and giving a shit seemed to have been sucked dry from him. I’ve seen roadkill more alive than he was in this movie. The plot is generic as hell, the acting is stale, and in the end it just felt like a paycheck movie. You know the kind of movies that a director or actor doesn’t care if the movie does well as long as they can pay their rent? That’s this movie. Watch the original Charles Bronson movies because watching this one is a death wish.
1. The Predator
Link to Review: https://theprose.com/post/233090/harry-situation-reviews-the-predator
Final Thoughts: It was a tough choice trying to figure out which movie truly deserves the top of my shit list. I had to think long and hard which of these movies truly angered my the most while I was watching it. And then it hit me, The Predator! What the fuck was Shane Black thinking when he was making this movie?! How do you fuck up some as badass as the Predator?! Leave Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi alone! You people should be crucifying Shane Black for what he did to the Predator series! He turned an awesome, action-packed horror film series into a derpy comedy shitfest. Say what you want about The Last Jedi (although I much preferred if you didn’t because I’m sick as shit of hearing people shit all over instead of growing the fuck up and moving the fuck on), but you got to admit that there were at least 3 moments, 3 really good solid moments, that bared some resemblance to a Star Wars movie. The Predator had no moments. It had nothing that seemed like it was a Predator movie other than having the Predator in it. Shane Black is the guy that should never touch another franchise again! He already tried with Iron Man 3, and IT FAILED! Now he tried with The Predator, and IT FAILED! I know I gave this movie a D when I first reviewed it. But you know what, I was being too generous then. Fuck it, this movie pissed me off so much that I’m changing its grade to an F. Fuck it, it’s my list! I can do whatever I fucking want! Fuck this movie! It’s my number one pick for the worst movie of 2018.
So those are my picks for the Bottom 5 Worst Movies of 2018. Have you seen any of these movies or checked out my reviews for them? Which films caused you the most pain? Which ones did you agree with? Which films should have been added? As usual, please be kind, leave a like and comment. Thank you all again for following me and reading my reviews throughout the year of 2018. I do hope to continue again in 2019. The future is a bright one. And, if you haven’t already, check out my list for the Top 10 Best Movies of 2018.
Thank you all, and have a Happy New Year!
