Worst Movie I have ever watched

I had some high hopes for this movie for I think it's idea is quite good. A signal spread by TV and phones that turns people into killers? I mean, if someone wanted to exterminate the human race that would be a genious way to do it.

The first part of the movies wasn't good but wasn't horrible either, but then they let it go to waste with the second part. I personally had very little interest in watching the rest of the movie afterwards.

I think they could have done so much with this movie... it could have been a very frightening apocalyptic type of film, but it turned out to be a terrible version of "Scary Movie".

I think you should revise your post to "A well done movie, just not what I was looking for."

Really, it was 3 separate (yet connected stories) told by 3 different movie makers.

The first part was straight up horror, the second dark comedy, the third romantic.. I'm pretty sure that most write ups include this information.

So I won't jump all over you for being ignorant of what you were about to watch, but I do think it's unfair that you label it as "the worst movie I have ever watched".

Really? Worst movie you have ever seen? Are you twelve or something? Exactly how many films have you watched in your life? Wait till you start watching other movies far, far, far, far, far worse than this. You're in for a big surprise.

To start a thread with the title 'Worst Movie I have ever watched' and then go on to say that the idea is quite good, followed by some pretty poor analysis, is a bit sensationalist and vacuous. And how did you get from this film to 'Scary Movie'? Is that one of the three films you've watched in your life?

Poor, sofiademagalhaes, very poor.

LOL what have you watched, five movies? Let's put this in perspective for hell's sake.

I see what the problem is. Your expectations.

"...could have been..."??? No. The film IS what it IS.

We've met before, haven't we?

"Manos: The Hands of Fate" is much, much worse.

I love people like the OP who don't like a movie and immediately it's the "worst ever"--until, presumably, the next one they don't like, a day or a week later. Oh dear, I just felt a chill from a breeze. WORST TEMPERATURE EVER!!! Hey, these potato chips are a little stale. WORST FOOD EVER!!! Hey, why use an adjective at all unless it's most extreme one possible? Because is an experience even worth having, let alone mentioning, if it's not the Most Whatever Ever?!? It's like a two-year-old's range of emotions--happiness on one side, tears and screams on the other, an open-mouthed void in between.
