18. Worst. Green Screen. Ever. - The First Purge

There are YouTubers who can pull off convincing green screen effects on shoestring budgets, and yet, the $13 million The First Purge couldn't do it.

Early in the movie, the architect of The Purge, Dr. May Updale (Marisa Tomei), is being interviewed about the "social experiment", but it's hard to pay attention to anything she's saying when the background is so hilariously, obviously fake.

Tomei and the other actors have a garish, blurry hue around their bodies and the lighting doesn't remotely match the background, making you wonder what the hell went wrong here.

Was Tomei not available to just, you know, shoot the scene out in the fresh air? Or was the chroma key technician sick that day? Either way, gross.
