15 Horror Movies Since 2000 So Awful They'e Genuinely Horrifying
15. Ichi The Killer
The Plot:
This one has little plot. It's basically a bunch of Yakuza gangs warring with the focus being on a psychologically tortured man named Ichi and a sadomasocistic assasin named Kakihara.
Why It Sucks:
This is a film most probably weren't expecting to see here, as it is moderately popular overall. This is a mystery that cannot be explained, since it is a strong contender for the most worthless film in existence. Not the worst, but the most worthless.
Ichi the Killer is one of those rare films which literally does nothing. It isn't funny, it isn't thrilling, it isn't emotionally engaging and is also wildly incoherent, so it's hard to even understand what's going on.
Thanks to the generally cartoon-like feel, even the violence disappoints. Here we have a film which is about nothing, tells us nothing and makes us feel nothing, making it a truly worthless film if there ever was one.
With migraine-inducing cinematography, flat storytelling and a horrendously immature and juvenile feel, this is a technically awful film in every sense of the word and it's truly bizarre that it's still quite well-regarded.
