5 WORST FILMS OF 2025
5. HURRY UP TOMORROW
Less a movie and more a self-indulgent, moody musical journey that favors style over substance, The Weekend's big cinematic opus, Hurry Up Tomorrow, is the ultimate exercise in "hate watching." You see, as bad as it is, there's a certain enjoyment in experiencing the the bad acting moments, atrocious dialogue, and head-scratching character motivations. Trust me, everything feels emotionally distant - not to mention unintentionally laughable.
4. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s reboot/sequel I Know What You Did Last Summer may hook you with nostalgia and the fresh cast, but will lose its grip with a ludicrously lame finale. And it’s a shame, because the film starts strong enough. But, once the mystery begins to unravel, things nosedive into a mess of plot holes and absurd twists. Even the long-awaited returns of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt feel oddly flat and forced. The film squanders its potential and serves as a reminder that not all reboots are worth remembering.
3. SNOW WHITE
This is nowhere near the fairest live-action remake of them all! For one, a major misstep comes in the form of the seven dwarves - or, more accurately, the seven CGI companions. While the choice to animate them via motion capture is understandable, their execution is anything but seamless. The designs are not only garish, but their presence feels jarring against the live-action cast - making every scene with them feel artificial and overly disconnected. Sadly, the romance, too, fails to spark. It’s rushed, overly “glossy,” and devoid of emotional depth. Just like the rest of this abysmal adaptation.
2. THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2
Uninspired, (mostly) uninteresting, and ultimately unnecessary, The Strangers – Chapter 2 is a lackluster sequel that chips away at what once made this franchise terrifying. Instead of building on the haunting brilliance of the Liv Tyler–led original, this entry (and the one before) has begun diminishing its legacy. It all but reduces the formula to a repetitive loop of hide-and-seek with killers. And, by pulling back the mask, this sequel undermines the core of what made the original so chilling. In short, it’s not inventive, it’s not scary, and it’s certainly not worthy of keeping this series alive.
1. WAR OF THE WORLDS
So, 2025’s War of the Worlds isn’t just a misfire - it’s a masterclass in shrinking a global catastrophe down to the size of a laptop screen. The “screenlife” format, usually a clever storytelling tool, utterly neuters the scale and spectacle an alien invasion demands, turning what should feel apocalyptic into something oddly small. Add in slack pacing and performances that never quite sync with the escalating chaos they're reacting to, and the tension evaporates before it even sparks. In a year packed with strong genre films, this one stands out for all the wrong reasons.
