Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

When mythological monsters run amok in Philadelphia and among them are angry unicorns only placated by handfuls of Skittles, things in this DC-related superhero movie start to teeter at my "switch off" point, especially given up to that point I'd already tired of a superhero movie that wants to champion a true mythological hero while also making him an annoying teen only as strong as each of his six team members, not to mention all those uncomfortable scenes showing teenaged boys holding hands and being romanced with 6000-year-old women.

April Fool's Day (1986)

Like And Then There Were None, the Agatha Christie book that inspired it, this wafer-thin cult classic 80s teen slasher opens on a group of people boarding a ferry to spend a weekend on an island, and even before these college kids arrive at their destination, someone starts picking them off one by bloody one and the surprise at the end is that there is a reason for this other than the fact each of the characters is extremely annoying - particularly the penis-obsessed, gnashing, gyrating, sniggering hyena frat boys.
