10 Unspeakably Awful Films Made By Oscar Winners
10. Critters 3
OK, so this one might not be entirely fair to include on the list. After all, it was Leonardo DiCaprio's first ever film appearance, and he was only about 16 when it was made, so he's hardly to blame for how terrible it is. But still...yeesh.
Critters 3, as you may guess, is the third film in the Critters franchise, a series that just did not need to exist. The Critters themselves were basically a poor man's Gremlins, although Critters director Stephen Herek says that the script for the first Critters movie was written before Gremlins came out, so any similarities were unintentional.
Still, it's clear which of the two franchises captured the hearts and minds of audiences, and it was not these guys.
DiCaprio, for his part, plays the stepson of a local landlord who is told by the main character Charlie about the Critters invasion (which is honestly just as ridiculous as it sounds) and manages to escape with the rest of the ensemble. His performance is fairly innocuous, but The Revenant it is not.
