Sci-fi and horror are the 2 worst genre.
Most movie directors and screen writers don't understand science, sadly.

It is extremely difficult to make a good horror movie, while it is very easy to make a bad one. Just look at all the Friday the Thirteen ones, Scream (all three of them), and Urban Legend (I suppose you could classify the last 4 as thrillers, since there isn't anything supernatural involved. However, the dividing line is rather blurry.) You get a masked killer to chase after a helpless woman, who will inevitably get brutalised, while playing some awful "mood enhancing" music. If not that, come up with some gory and ugly "thing," and let it run around killing people. It's so boring, it's so stock.

My daughters brought the Good Girl home from the video store a few weeks ago. Friends movies suck as a rule, but Jennifer Aniston made a big mistake getting in this one. I had to leave the room after 20 minutes, and my daughters ejected the tape ten minutes after that. We never do that, we watch plenty of sucky movies, but this was just unbearably pathetic without any chance to find a hero to root for. You just wanted all the characters to shut up and die.

I should have said that they are tough to pull off. That's also why these genres are more likely to generate "worst" movies.
