20 Worst Movies Of 2016 (So Far)

14. The Darkness

Worst Fims Of 2016
Universal Pictures

If you're in the UK, there's a good chance you're currently having difficulties forgiving Kevin Bacon for the God-awful EE adverts that run on high rotation on TV. Compared to The Darkness, those annoying commercials are an absolute cake walk.

The haunted house movie is basically a catalogue of cliches: haunted ancient burial ground, historical curses, a poltergeist that tries to steal a child, an exorcist who basically says "this house is clear" and a director claiming its based on a true story.

Unfortunately, familiarity breeds contempt here, and it offers extremely little for any but the most desperate of horror film fans. It's basically a collection of memories of far better movies that you should have watched instead.
