2026’s Most Controversial Banned Thriller Is Already Getting a Sequel This Month

With an abysmal 6% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, one of 2026's worst movies so far has proven to be a disastrous career move for both its director and lead star. While mainstream critics condemned it as mean-spirited and poorly made, right-wing online communities and an aggressive streaming push propelled it to the top of the digital charts, resulting in a staggering 93% audience score that exposes a massive divide between film critics and online viewers. Surprisingly, less than a month after its release, the film is now getting a sequel.
