When Fox decided to reboot the Fantastic Four franchise in 2015, they took the characters in a whole new direction. Instead of a bright, light-hearted superhero adventure, director Josh Trank looked to the body horror movies of David Cronenberg for inspiration. The studio panicked in the 11th hour and rewrote the last act of the movie, and the finished product is just as weird as you would expect based on these creative decisions.
With just a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, this is the worst reviewed movie we have covered yet! We maybe had to dig deeper than usual but we're still bringing you all the positives from this truly bizarre comic book adaptation.
