As in like, I get there's really terrible B-movies and shit like Neil Breen's work that ends up on BOTW, but what's the worst movie that actually had a decent sized budget and was made by an actual movie studio and maybe even had some somewhat well known actors in it?

I got a bunch of free DVDs and among them was Van Hellsing (2004)

I didn't remember anything about it other than the scene where the horse carriage goes over a cliff and then explodes so I thought it'd be funny to watch it with my partner.

Man, this wasn't even a "so bad it's good" kinda film, it was genuinely fucking awful. I could've forgiven a lot of it but it was waaaaaay too long for what it was. Something like 130 minutes? Could've been an hour max.

Runner up: Repo: The Genetic Opera, but I still liked it.

20 years later and I still remember one of the characters falling off a building and through a bunch of trees, hitting stuff on the way down and landing super hero perfect and makeup untouched. So egregious I couldn't handle it.

a circus-y, renfaire-y ex showed me repo and I was like, wtf is this, this is unwatchable

it was probably at that point that we knew the relationship was doomed
