With every best comes the worst. This year provided a slew of films that were not only bad but unwatchable. From sequels 10+ years too late to releasing one of the worst edited films I’ve ever seen, and finally, to misleading an audience with an alternate plot-driven trailer, 2016 had it all.
To make this list of unforgivable cinematic flaws, a film must have not only had possibilities of being good but also cross the other side of the spectrum and leave the audience pondering as to how this film was actually made. I present Reel Talk’s first worst of list with 2016’s worst films. What were your worst films this year?
