10 Films That Totally Deserve Their 0% Rotten Tomatoes Rating
9. S. Darko (2009)
Donnie Darko was a movie crying out for a sequel... wait, no it wasn't. Eight years after Richard Kelly's cult classic, a completely unnecessary follow-up scored a limited theatrical release, with Daveigh Chase reprising her role as Samantha Darko in a project that was publicly disowned by original writer/director Kelly, and with good reason. Instead of trying to stand on its own merits, S. Darko instead attempts to replicate the look and feel of the original and fails miserably. Full of stereotypical characters spouting cliched and often laughably bad dialogue, the movie hits many of the same beats as its predecessor with none of the impact, and what attempts to be a serious and surreal follow-up instead turns out as a lazy and borderline unwatchable cash-in.
I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
