Magic Magic (2013)

A young female traveller trapped in remote Chile in the company of a constantly whelping puppy and three personality-free travel companions (the worst being Michael Cera's incessantly talking Brink) witnesses animal cruelty, overdoses on unprescribed medication, doesn't have the others' confidence to jump off a rock into the ocean, and so descends gradually into madness and anyone watching this shrill, pointless, infuriating "psychological thriller" will likely do the same before the movie's exceedingly daft final exorcism scene.

Sucker Punch (2011)

Imprisoned girls in fishnets, stilettos and laced bodices are repeatedly forced to perform a cabaret dance soooo unspeakable it becomes necessary for them to dissociate, disappearing into what Zach Snyder probably imagines are empowering feminist dreamscapes - Bjork music video sequences in which the girls wear fishnets, stilettos and laced bodices and annihilate CGI monsters with ninja skills that back in the real world must be some really good twerking or something.
