PostWorst film premise?
by Peter Crisp » Mon Jan 01, 2018 3:29 pm

I'm flicking through the netflix film queue and I see what could be the worst premise for a film ever.

The Vault
They planned the robbery well. They thought they were ready for anything. But what they didn't count on was a haunted bank vault.

That just sounds bloody awful but can you come up with something even more ridiculous?

Not a premise as such, but 'Man On A Ledge' is up there as one of the worst titles for a film I can think of. If they tweaked it slightly to 'Man On The Edge' it would give it some potential double meaning but no...

Starry eyed farm boy looking for adventure hooks up with a dodgy truck driver and his pet dog, argues with said truck driver over the local totty, (who he discovers is actually his sister), before saving everyone from the iron rule of sinister government.

A few days ago I would've said "Postman Pat enters Britain's Got Talent", but I caught the last half hour or so of it this week and it was far more watchable than I thought it would be...

That sounds original at least. I'd give it a watch.

Doesn't sound like it'd be that good a place to stash valuables, ghosts have a track record smashing stuff. Hope the bank has good insurance coverage.

The film lost me at the point that he was able to fully open a window in a hotel. The reason that they lock them is to stop the very Man on a Ledge that the film is called.
