20 Most Critically Reviled Films Of 2014

7. Vampire Academy

9% - 43 Reviews Sometimes you're not angry at a film for being such a turkey, you're just disappointed. Such is the case with Vampire Academy, which had a pretty boss Bauhaus cover by Chvrches over the end credits, a neat premise €“ a private girl's school for vampires! - and a script by Daniel Waters. As in, Daniel Waters who wrote Heathers. That eighties black comedy brilliantly skewered the true nature of high school and adolescence, but he's struggled to have a similar hit since. Vampire Academy looked like it could've been his comeback €“ with the director of Mean Girls, too €“ instead, it just sucked. Choice review quote: €œThis is a garbage heap of weak quips, delivered by an assortment of pretty boys and girls and amped up with some cheesy moments of animal cruelty.€ (Chicago Reader)
