The Descent
The story of this film is simple and straightforward — Sarah loses her family, and in order to help her cope, her girlfriends take her to explore caves together. Yeah, we don’t understand how this is supposed to help either. The movie manages to make us feel claustrophobic even though we are watching it from the comfort of our roomy home.
While it’s usual to see some blood gore in a horror film, it’s safe to assume that it’s fake…right? Well, those with weak stomachs look away! Rumor has it that director Neil Marshall opted to use actual skeletal remains as opposed to fake ones, unbeknownst to the unfortunate cast members. Hey, we’re all for realism, but this is taking it too far.
Batman v Superman
Lex Luthor is one of the iconic comic book villains up there with the Joker and Magneto. Plenty of people were hoping for a powerful actor who has already stunned as a bald villain – like Bryan Cranston in "Breaking Bad" when he says, "I am the one who knocks" – but instead, we got Jesse Eisenberg. He's certainly not a bad actor, looking at his previous outings, but he just didn't have the power to play this unforgettable villain.
Superman's arch-nemesis needs more, and Eisenberg just didn't have it in him. Many found his character too manic, too loud, and too wild for what a good Luther should be – a little bit too close to the Joker for a lot of people's liking. It left many fans hating the film due to its questionable casting choice.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Unfortunately, we don't live in a world where everyone gets along. This is true on movie sets as well. While two characters may be friends or lovers, the actors that play them may very well despise one another. This was certainly the case on the set of "Mad Max: Fury Road."
The film was a smashing success and received positive critical reviews upon its release at the time of the film's release. However, a few years later, it came to light that not only did the two leads, Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy, not get along, but Charlize felt that she was in danger. She even requested protection from Hardy during filming. It certainly douses the highly saturated film with a grey cloud, knowing how difficult on-set relations were.
Natural Born Killers
Many films have been criticized for glorifying bad behavior, however Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" is the quintessential example. The film centers around an (arguably very cool) loved-up couple turned mass criminals.
The film's mix of romance and violence has been credited to have inspired several "copycat crimes," including the horrific Columbine High School tragedy.
Hellraiser
The 1987 British film "Hellraiser" is based on a story called "The Hellbound Heart." At the center of the movie are extra-dimensional creatures who enjoy hurting others and can't tell pain from pleasure.
The film's gory content was so vile that it was banned in Canada due to its brutal, graphic, violent scenes that left no room for imagination.
