No 2015 worst-of list is complete without the unholy trinity of digital animation: (2012). This film—featuring Charlie Sheen as a detective in a supermarket where product mascots come to life—looks like a PS2 cutscene that was left in the sun to melt. The character designs are nightmare fuel; the jokes are non-existent. It was famously stolen and re-animated on a shoestring budget, but the result is less a movie and more a war crime against children’s entertainment.

Night Shyamalan directs his child actors like they are reciting a grocery list. It is a film of endless exposition and zero joy. To watch it is to watch the color drain from the world.
