11 Awful Directors With One Great Movie

5. Uwe Boll - Rampage

The Awful Director: The man referred to as "the modern-day Ed Wood" needs no introduction, having gained infamy over the last 15 years for his horrendous video game adaptations such as House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne, Dungeon Siege, Postal and Far Cry.

Boll's films got so bad that most critics stopped reviewing his work by 2007, and with the German tax loophole that funded his projects being closed a while back, he has effectively been forced into retirement (with his crowd-funding attempts failing).

The One Great Movie: Boll's one genuinely good, even great film (for his standards, at least) was barely reviewed at all due to through-the-floor expectations, but shockingly enough, it is well worth your time.

His 2009 action thriller Rampage was a legitimately startling piece of work about a frustrated young man going on a savage killing spree across his town. Thanks to Boll's shocking depiction of violence and Brendan Fletcher's intense lead performance, this was an impossibly riveting and disturbing film from one of the world's worst filmmakers.
