10 Best Bad Movies Since 2000

Nicolas Cage has stated in interviews that he was “in on the joke” while remaking Robin Hardy’s legendary 1973 movie, so let’s assume that the ensuing picture was his penalty for failing to participate in a neck and nominate game.

The Wicker Man doesn’t have enough suspense, scares or credible characters to work as a straight thriller, but once viewed as a joke on the viewer, it becomes a riot. Look, there’s Cage dropping the F-bomb in front of small children, stealing a teacher’s bicycle at gunpoint and knocking out a woman while dressed as a bear – and he’s in on the gag!

Which is just as well, because any other movie where the main character concludes, after 75 minutes of weird dreams, cheap scares and near-fatal accidents, that “something bad is about to happen” would just look silly.
