VULTURE DROPPINGS: Movies That Have Scored 0% On Rotten Tomatoes
Any movie can score a low rating on the critic aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. But it takes a truly special brand of awfulness to score 0%. As of this writing, one of the new movies opening this week, a list that includes Kathryn Bigelow‘s Zero Dark Thirty and the all-star action thriller Gangster Squad, holds that distinction. A Haunted House, the new comedy from The Wayans Bros, has received Rotten Tomatoes’ lowest score. MSN Movies’ James Rocchi wrote:
Mean-spirited, badly made and unfunny is one set of disasters; adding in storytelling incompetence adds to the catastrophe.
Despite the negative reviews, Variety’s Joe Leydon wrote that it should be able to attract moviegoers in the short term:
This Open Road release nonetheless appears capable of attracting enough of a crossover aud for a respectable opening-weekend gross. But don’t expect it to haunt megaplexes very long.
The Paranormal Activity spoof isn’t alone with its low score. A list of films (in alphabetical order) whose only common thread is scoring 0% is posted after the jump.
