10 Movies From 2017 That Deserve Razzie Awards (But Weren't Nominated)
1. Rings
A contender for the Dumbest Idea, Worst Sequel and Most Tedious Horror Movie of 2017, Rings somehow missed out on a Worst Picture Razzie nomination to The Mummy, which a ten year old could tell you is the most enjoyably bad of the pair.
Rings opens with what seems like a Scary Movie gag, only it’s played dead straight. On a late night flight, a woman tries to calm a fellow passenger who starts telling her about “that videotape that kills you after you watch it” (what is this, 1998?) Curiously for a young fellow, he somehow managed to find a VCR and watched the tape, which means he has seven days to live and his time runs out right now.
Faster than you can say, “What a hokey opening!”, images from the videotape start playing on the cockpit screens while black sludge mysteriously seeps from under the cabin door, and then… well, then the narrative jumps forward two years for a dull story about Professor Johnny Galecki, who’s started some kind of cult to protect himself from the videotape curse.
