15 Best Movies That Scored 0% On Rotten Tomatoes

9. Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997)

And you thought Jason X was the most delightfully dumb, achingly desperate horror sequel set in space? The third straight Leprechaun movie to score 0% on the Tomatometer, Leprechaun 4: In Spaaaaaaaaaace takes the franchise into the future, and the results are nothing short of astonishingly insane.

Where to begin? Warwick Davis' titular antagonist is "killed" early on in the movie, but after being urinated on by a marine, he swims up the marine's urine stream, manifests as an STD and later re-emerges out of his penis. Really.

It only gets more bizarre from there, with a secondary antagonist who transforms from a cyborg into a spider-like creature, an hilariously low-rent sequence in which the Leprechaun grows in size, another where he wields a lightsaber, and countless on-the-nose references to the first two Alien movies.

Davis' infectious enthusiasm makes this one a ton of fun, and while most other horror franchises are well and truly creatively bankrupt by number four, there's a refreshing stylistic inventiveness on display here, even if the budget clearly strangles the execution.
