Indeed, another year of incredible movies comes to an end and what a year it been. While superhero fatigue appeared in full form (with the exception of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), the last 12 months saw some spectacular cinematic feats unfold, particularly with the Barbenheimer phenomenon that made it seem as though cinema reached peak pervasiveness this year. That is of course, until the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike pretty much insured that many tentpole features got pushed to next year or later, and saw actors and writers manning the picket lines rather than promoting their films. Yet, looking back the year saw an array of new voices rise and legendary names like Martin Scorsese and Alexander Payne reassert their presence. Nevertheless, it cannot denied that in the amidst all this we saw some real stinkers, particularly a bunch of sequels, and legacy sequels, which came and just stunk up the good looking pond. In my opinion, here are some of the worst films churned out by the industry this year:

1. Pet Sematary: Bloodlines
2. The Exorcist: Believer
3. Magic Mike’s Last Dance
4. Peter Pan and Wendy
5. You People
6. 65
7. Shazam! Fury of the Gods
8. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
9. Expend4bles
10. There’s Something Wrong with the Children
11. Marlowe
12. Your Place or Mine
13. Cobweb
14. Meg 2: The Trench
15. Heart of Stone
