12 Terrible Recent Movies Destined To Become Cult Classics

Why It's Terrible: A massively underwhelming crash-and-burn failure from Ridley Scott's son Luke, Morgan touts the riches of an intriguing set-up, splendid cast and sharp cinematography, but squanders it all on a limp sci-fi thriller, loaded with cliches and atrocious fight scene editing, not to mention an insultingly predictable final plot twist.

Why It'll Be A Cult Classic: Morgan has too many fantastic actors in it (namely Toby Jones, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Giamatti and Michelle Yeoh) not to find appreciation on home video once sci-fi fans realise it actually exists.

Though it is basically just "crap Ex Machina", the solid style and sinister set-up might be enough for some genre devotees to forgive its many, many lesser qualities (but not Kate Mara's performance, because she's legit terrible in it).
