2024 is nearly at an end, and there's some things that should definitely stay there. That includes these ten most-hated movies of 2024 from you, our discerning Criticker members.
As with our best- and worst- lists every year, these are the films which are rated in the bottom percentile of each user's ratings more than any others. Rather that just finding the films with the lowest average rating of the year, we dive deeper into the stats to find those films that are really and truly hated.
This year there's a lot of blockbuster trashy horror and some superheroes, bolstered by one Lindsay Lohan as she finally found her way back to our screens in 2024.
And don't forget to check out the 20 Most-Loved Films of the year, too!
10. AfrAId
Hate Percentage: 67.8%
A family's new digital assistant AIA will stop at nothing to protect them in this sci-fi horror flick. While the premise might have been interesting in itself, our Criticker users just couldn't suspend their disbelief with this story.
"This feels truly a hell of a waste of talent and premise." - moraesfelipe
9. The Crow
Hate Percentage: 69.66%
The consensus from viewers on Criticker is that this remake feels like it was written by an emo teen for a Young Adult audience, so overall does very little to compare to the original film. Bill Skarsgard and FKA Twigs play the leads crossing the worlds of the living and the dead.
"The only points are for the one decent fight scene, the rest of this can fuck off back to the purgatory it came from." - TheDenizen
8. Irish Wish
Hate Percentage: 70.15%
Lindsay Lohan plays Maddie, a woman travelling to Ireland to be a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding, who's marrying the love of Maddie's life. It's a well-trodden storyline that falls short in this instance, with bad acting, worse Irish accents and an awful script, according to our users.
"Insipid. Shot like a commercial for heart medication." - bencgauld
7. Imaginary
Hate Percentage: 74.07%
Chauncey is a woman's childhood imaginary friend, who turns out to not be imaginary at all, and he's not happy that he was abandoned by her all those years ago. This is a forgettable horror movie from the producers that brought you M3gan and Five Nights at Freddy's.
"The most soulless horror movie I've seen in a long time." - feritdgn
6. Tarot
Hate Percentage: 75.53%
A group of friends unleash the evil trapped within a cursed pack of tarot cards, and suffer the deathly consequences. Criticker users really hated this one, billing it predictable, cheesy, full of clichés and disappointing. It's not a parody horror, just a very very bad one.
"So bad I actually wondered partway through if I was being punked and this was some kind of horror spoof or parody that was flying over my head." - Ytadel
5. Borderlands
Hate Percentage: 77.08%
There's an all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Jamie Lee Curtis is this videogame spinoff about a group interplanetary misfits on a mission to find a missing girl. But no star power could save this dud, which, according to our users was an embarrassing, incoherent mess.
"Thhhhhhhrrrrrrrrppppppppppp. What a wet fart treatment of the game and it's universe." - Difontaine
4. Uglies
Hate Percentage: 80.6%
We're transported to a dystopian world where everyone is considered 'ugly' and must undergo compulsory cosmetic surgery to turn 'pretty', but one girl rebels against the confirmity. This McG directed movie is as bland as the face-tuning filters used on the actors.
"There isn’t a single part that ı can point out in this that is at least decent." - Duder
3. Madame Web
Hate Percentage: 81.47%
The origin story of a Marvel heroine, a New Yorker paramedic who develops powers to see into the future and starts to use those powers to change the destinies of some powerful women. Criticker users complained about the lack of suspense and the cheesy lines propping up a terrible script.
"So bad it actually caused damage to my relationship." - jthusky
2. Time Cut
Hate Percentage: 83.02%
A time-travelling teen goes back to 2003 where she has the chance to save her sister from being murdered. Unfortunately it's not a story that our members were gripped by, with cheap stylings, bad acting and a worse script.
"Laughably bad in energy conceivable way, terrible script, lousy acting and shot like daytime TV from the early 90s." - Bene
1. The Strangers: Chapter 1
Hate Percentage: 84.44%
And clanging in at number one, it's the first installment of a new trilogy that seemingly no one wants. The Strangers: Chapter 1 is the most-hated film of 2024. It starts as many horror movies do, with a couple whose car breaks down in a creepy town. They must stay in a remote cabin for the night but when three masked strangers turn up, terror and panic ensue.
"I don't have much hope for Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. This is seriously sad." - feritdgn
"May lay legitimate claim to the singlemost boring horror movie I've ever seen; like asking AI to write something for you." - TheRealJ_Ro
