15 Movies That Perfectly Combine Sci-Fi and Horror
15. The Ridiculous 6
Despite a stacked cast, The Ridiculous 6 feels like a never-ending inside joke between Adam Sandler and his friends, with the audience left out entirely. It’s stuffed with dumb gags and cartoonish characters, but somehow manages to be exhausting instead of funny. | © Netflix
14. The Brothers Solomon
The Brothers Solomon tries so hard to be quirky and offbeat, it ends up feeling like a painfully awkward sketch that forgot to end. The laughs are rare, the characters are grating, and finishing it feels more like a dare than entertainment. | © TriStar Pictures
13. Pootie Tang
Pootie Tang plays like an inside joke no one bothered to explain, and somehow still got released. It’s so bafflingly unfunny and incoherent, you’ll spend most of the runtime wondering if it’s a prank on the audience. | © Paramount Pictures
12. White Chicks
If you’re over the age of fifteen, the jokes start feeling more painful than funny, especially once the novelty of the disguise wears off. It’s loud, ridiculous, and built on a single gag that gets stretched way past its breaking point. | © Sony Pictures Releasing
11. Norbit
What’s supposed to be a silly comedy quickly turns into a cringey mess of mean-spirited jokes, uncomfortable stereotypes, and one painfully spineless lead. Even Eddie Murphy playing multiple characters can't save Norbit from feeling exhausting. | © Paramount Pictures
10. Meet the Spartans
Meet the Spartans throws every pop culture joke it can find at the screen, and none of them truly land. It's so lazy and painfully unfunny, even kids in the audience gave up and turned to flinging popcorn instead. | © 20th Century Studios
9. Beau Is Afraid
This three-hour spiral into anxiety and absurdity is more punishment than punchline, dragging you through one bizarre meltdown after another. It’s like watching a panic attack in slow motion, with jokes that only land if you’re not too stressed to notice. | © A24
8. La Dolce Vita
La Dolce Vita is stunning and important, sure, but sitting through nearly three hours of aimless wandering and empty parties can feel like watching a hangover in slow motion. By the end, you're not just sympathising with the main character’s exhaustion, you're living it. | © Cineriz
7. Tusk
Tusk starts weird, gets weirder, and then mutates into something so bizarre and grotesque it feels like a dare to finish. It’s a comedy-horror hybrid where the laughs die somewhere around the point a man starts turning into a walrus. | © A24
6. Brazil
Brazil is a visually wild and relentlessly bleak dystopian satire, turning comedy into something that feels more like a slow descent into madness. By the end, you’re not laughing, you're just wondering how much longer this bureaucratic nightmare can drag on. | © 20th Century Studios
5. Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill is the kind of comedy that makes you question if the goal was to make you laugh or just cringe nonstop. Even kids will probably look at you like you made a bad joke by pressing play. | © Sony Pictures Releasing
4. Shiva Baby
Watching Shiva Baby is like being trapped in the world’s most awkward family gathering, with no way out and nowhere to hide. The tension is so suffocating it’s hard to laugh, let alone breathe. | © Utopia
3. The Love Guru
The Love Guru feels like one long inside joke that no one else was invited to laugh at. Packed with cringeworthy gags and lazy stereotypes, it’s less comedy and more endurance test. | © Paramount Pictures
2. Babylon
Babylon opens with an elephant explosion and only gets more chaotic from there. If you’re not exhausted by hour two, you’re probably numb. It’s messy, loud, and bloated with so much madness that even the comedy feels like a fever dream. | © Paramount Pictures
1. Happiness
Happiness dives so deep into the worst parts of human nature that you’ll question why it’s even labelled a comedy. It's bleak, uncomfortable, and the few laughs you do get come with a heavy dose of guilt. | © Good Machine
