20 Movies Since 2010 So Awful They're Actually Harrowing

10. Shark Night 3D

Dumb shark movies are not fun anymore, and to be honest, they never really were. That being said, though, many bad creature features are also quite funny - but not this one.

When you first see the horrendously rendered CGI sharks attacking the badly-written characters in a series of ludicrous moments without a hint of laughter, charm or self-awareness, you realise this won't be as bad as your usual dumb shark film. It'll be ten times worse.

With no guilty pleasure thrills to distract from the awful execution, flat characters, and complete lack of tension, this is one of the most lifeless B-Movies imaginable. All these creature features which rip off Jaws have been tiresome for years, but they do provide some good laughs, with Piranha 3D a year earlier being a good example of a similar film which got the tone right.

In contrast, this never nails the right tone, never makes the viewer care, and it's amazing this wasn't rated 12A, since it doesn't even offer the adult content many viewers were no doubt hoping for.
