- DirectorAlex TurnerStarsHenry ThomasPatrick FugitNicki AycoxA group of Confederate soldiers hole up in an abandoned plantation after robbing a bank and find themselves at the mercy of supernatural forces.very flat movie. flat acting, script, story. not one scary moment. best part of the movie is the first 3 or 4 minutes.
- DirectorWilliam Brent BellStarsFernanda AndradeSimon QuartermanEvan HelmuthIn Italy, a woman becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother, who allegedly murdered three people during her own exorcism.bad imdb score.. check.. word of mouth says the movie is bad.. check.. yet i still watch it.. oops. not too smart of me :)

I'm surprised it is recommended on some lists.
- DirectorChristian AlvartStarsRenée ZellwegerIan McShaneJodelle FerlandA social worker fights to save a girl from her abusive parents, only to discover that the situation is more dangerous than she ever expected.Probably the best movie to make it on this "worst of" list. Just a frustrating movie to watch and too many inconsistencies to be enjoyable.

Following the delivery, the child miraculously returns to life with an appetite for human blood. Madeline is faced with a mother's ultimate decision.Prepare to be disappointed.

ReillyA mother and daughter, still wounded from a bitter custody dispute, hole up in a run-down apartment building, where they are targeted by the ghost of a former resident.So I just found out that this was a remake of a 2002 Japanese film.

Her only opposition is the only child, now grown up, who has survived her before.Do yourself a favor and watch "Dead Silence" instead. This movie gets a strong "do not recommend". The first 5 minutes start off great, but flatlines quickly, never to have a pulse again.
- DirectorVincenzo NataliStarsNicole de BoerMaurice Dean WintDavid HewlettA group of strangers awaken to find themselves placed in a giant cube. Each one of them is gifted with a special skill and they must work together to escape an endless maze of deadly traps.Okay this wasn't terrible, but wasn't very enjoyable either. Acting seemed amateurish.
