20 Movies Since 2010 So Awful They're Actually Harrowing

Aside from Mark Kermode, it seems no-one who's not a Twi-hard actually likes these films - even the stars hate them. After starting out perfectly ok with the first film, the franchise revealed its dark intentions in the sequels.

New Moon is still the worst, but Breaking Dawn Part One gives it serious competition. Relentlessly gloomy and suffering hugely from the misjudged decision to split material that could have been covered in one film into two, this is essentially a prologue stretched out to an agonising two hours.

Nothing happens in Breaking Dawn Part One. (Almost) literally. Bella and Edward, played as atrociously as ever, get married, have their honeymoon and Bella discovers she’s pregnant. That's it. There's no more plot to spoil. The only redeeming factor is director Bill Condon, who is obviously a good director and nobly tries very hard to make the film interesting, but with such appalling screenwriting what can you do?
