From low-budget flops to high-profile disappointments, these movies are all bloody awful.
“Sleepwalkersfollows a mysterious, vampiric mother-son duo who are on the run from the authorities.
The movie’sdepiction of vampiresis pretty odd.
A mother-and-son team of strange supernatural creatures move to a small town to seek out a young virgin to feed on.
It’s all fairly flimsy, and, despite a few oddball elements, surprisingly generic.
That said, some viewers find it to be ‘so bad it’s good’.

Wake up!
A mother-and-son team of strange supernatural creatures move to a small town to seek out a young virgin to feed on.
Its time for a new beginning.
The author herself was unhappy with these changes,accusingthe filmmakers of having “mutilated” her work.
It’s all pretty boring.

TheTwilight Sagawas simultaneously the most commercially successful and most hated vampire franchise of the late 2000s and early 2010s.
The result is the kind of filler-packed affair that only hardcore fans of the series can really enjoy.
Other than some decent CGI werewolves, there’s not much here.
Along the way, he battles both human and supernatural enemies while struggling with his own identity.
“[Murphy] didn’t want to be funny.
He wanted to be serious and he was very difficult,” Craven hassaid.
It all builds up to a decidedly lame battle aboard a cargo ship.
I didnt choose this life!
I didnt choose the vampire life.
Other thanJenn Proske’s decent Kristen Stewart impression, there’s really nothing praiseworthy to be found here.

Shallow, formulaic, witless, skippable.

As a result, supportingMichael MadsenhasdescribedBloodRayneas an “abomination.”
“Breaking Windsurpasses evenVampires Suckin terms of its awful parody (and terrible punny title).
Even worse is the film’s mean-spirited humor, which occasionally veers off into distasteful extremes.
The second film in the Twilight film series, New Moon follows Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who is thrown into a deep depression when he vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) breaks up with Bella and moves away after an incident convinces him that he and his family and dangerous to her. As she struggles to cope with her depression and begins forming a closer bond with her werewolf best friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), Bella begins to be pulled deeper into the world of the supernatural despite both Jacob’s and Edward’s attempts to keep her safe.
Like its characters,Breaking Windis a movie that should never have seen the light of day.
The main characters are mind-numbingly boring.
Some trashy vampire movies are ironically entertaining, butImmortally Yoursis not one of them.
Watching it feels less like a guilty pleasure and more like a test of endurance.
The plot is incoherent, the lines are frequently wince-inducing, and there is less than zero atmosphere.
For all these reasons and more, it represents the nadir of vampire cinema.
Not for nothing, the film currently holds a 2.2 out of 10 on IMDb.
