10 Awful Movies From 2018 With Awesome Concepts

1. Game Over, Man!

The Pitch: Die Hard...but with the guys from Workaholics. Why the hell not?

The Reality: Giving the Workaholics team their own Die Hard-inspired Netflix action-comedy seemed like a ripe recipe for some inspired insanity, so it's disappointing that Game Over, Man! turned out such a hot mess.

Other than a few fitfully funny moments, this tepid Die Hard spoof is more loud and obnoxious than smart or funny, overdosing on shock "humour" yet offering virtually little wit.

Shot with zero flair and patently ignoring the fact that Die Hard is already pretty amusing in its own right, Game Over, Man! fails to justify its existence and feels like an especially cynical, pointless Netflix Original.

Which terrible movies squandered the most intriguing concepts? Shout them out in the comments!
