10 Best Bad Movies Since 2000

8. Texas Chainsaw 3D

There would be no reason to watch Chainsaw 3D if it was just another boring failure from the Michael Bay production line, but John Luessenhop’s movie gets into your good graces by being funny without meaning to be.

With characters who can’t jump foot-high fences, a supporting cast of yee-haw caricatures and a scene where Leatherface forces a van off the road with his chainsaw, this is the Battlefield Earth of horror reboots. The only way you could improve it is by setting it in outer space.

As usual, a six-foot five-inch chainsaw enthusiast in a mask made from human skin is able to sneak around without causing suspicion, the redneck troopers are all graduates of the Wicker Man school of detecting and the ladies think nothing of wandering off to have sex in a house with a bloody past, but that’s nothing compared to the ending where Alexandra Daddario throws Leatherface his chainsaw and shouts, “Do your thing, cuz!”
