I rarely force myself to finish things that I'm not enjoying. If it's on TV, I'll just turn it off.
So, the last one would have I would have seen in the movie theater.
The last worst movie that I saw all the way through would be "The Blair Witch Project". I saw it after reading all of those incredible reviews about how it was the scarriest movie since "The Exorcist".
As a marketing event, it was spectacular.
As a movie, it was crap. There was no suspense. I didn't care about any of the three filmmakers. And I physically got ill from all the swinging around that the camera did.

Posted: 4/3/08 at 9:50amMichael Mann's MANHUNTER, a completely tension free thriller with a somnambulent William Petersen. Just bloody awful, every shot was composed to look like some ghastly perfume ad.

You know, it's funny, but I think the hype had a lot to do with people's expectations regarding Blair Witch. I was out of the country during the height of the hype, but I read a little about the film's unexpected success. When I returned home, it was still running so I went to see it and I absolutely loved it. I never really felt for the characters so much probably because it didn't seem to be the director's intention (hence the nearly nonexistent backstory on the characters themselves). Like Cloverfield, it was about experiencing the situation through their eyes without the luxury of omniscient scenes or music to cue the emotions or tension of the audience nor provide any exterior knowledge on the situation at hand. For me, it worked, but probably because I knew so little about the film or how it was made.

Posted: 4/3/08 at 2:55pmI saw "The Blair Witch Project" in a theatre--I still remember the outraged groans from a majority of the audience after the last shot. But the guy I was with was whimpering and crying and begging, "Hold me", so it was all worth it for me...

SOYLENT GREEN.
I couldn't WAIT for that movie to end...
Runner up would be RAMBO. Especially considering we had to sit in the FRONT row. Brutal.

The Wiz (Diana Ross and Michael Jackson redo The Wizard of Oz). 14-year-old me spent the whole 130 minutes wondering why on earth the movie existed
