Infestation (2009)
Nomination Year: 2018
SYNOPSIS:
Bugs take over one day. No reason. They just do. There's an incapacitating sound and the next thing, everyone's webbed up. No reason. Except for our hero Cooper, who wakes up. No reason.
Then begins a trek with a ragtag group of survivors to find the central hive before all of mankind becomes the prey of these giant (for no reason) insects!

 Crummiest Ending |
Holy Shi It's the mop-up. The bug nest has been destroyed, and the bugs are all gone. They're going around waking people up—like they fricking should have been doing all along, since apparently the process leaves you completely unharmed. They're engaging in some light nerd-hero-gets-the-girl banter. Then: "Look!" They look offscreen. She says "Whoa!" He exclaims "Holy shit." And...the movie simply ENDS. CEASES. We never get to see what it was, nor was there ever any foreshadowing as to what it even might be that they're looking at.

Worst Picture |
Truck Ride Cooper says it's a bad idea to try to leave in the truck. They don't listen. The blond driver runs over a bug and makes a snarky, inane comment. Immediate bug attack. Passenger Guy jumps out and breaks his leg. Driver gets bugnapped right out of the driver's seat. And then the out-of-control truck runs over Passenger Guy.
