The best and most popular Blumhouse horror movies are always character-driven, and this is what horror fans are looking for. The films that have been ranked low on Rotten Tomatoes have generic characters and aren’t ultimately as memorable as many others.

With a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 15% Audience Score, Martyrs is one Blumhouse horror movie with less than 10% on the website. Kate Burton of Grey’s Anatomy fame and Troian Bellisario, known for playing Spencer Hastings on the teen horror TV show Pretty Little Liars, star in the film as Eleanor and Lucie Jurin. Bellisario’s character has been living at St. Mary’s Orphanage and she and her friend Anna (Bailey Noble) want to get revenge on the people who kidnapped and hurt them when they was younger.

The main storyline and characters don’t make much of an impression. With a convoluted plot that doesn’t make much sense, it’s no wonder that the film has a rating of under 10%. Martrys only grossed $397,072 worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, and it hasn’t been talked about much since its release. Some slashers deconstruct the genre and feel fresh, but this one doesn’t.

With an 8% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 48% Audience Score, Fantasy Island is a Blumhouse horror movie that fell flat and doesn’t have a strong plot or fleshed out characters. Based on the TV show from the 1970s, the film follows a group of strangers who are told to visit this island so their wildest dreams can happen.

Instead, the characters realize that “be careful what you wish for” is a very real thing. The main problem with the movie is that it goes off the rails and the effects feel silly instead of scary. The result is a story that isn’t as memorable as the original TV series. The question of what makes a good horror prequel is relevant for adaptations, too, as sometimes the story doesn’t need to be told again. This Fantasy Island isn’t very thrilling or fun.

Sometimes a teen horror movie has characters who feel unoriginal and like they have been in every other movie about high schoolers. That’s definitely the case with Ouija, which has a 6% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a low Audience Score of 24%. One of the worst teen horror movies, Ouija is about teenagers who play with a Ouija board and begin getting killed.

Unlike the best demonic possession horror movies, Ouija doesn’t feel scary enough, and the characters blend into one another, which makes it hard to care about them. Since many people have memories of using Ouija boards during sleepovers or get-togethers with friends and laughing and having fun, it’s hard to really buy that a Ouija board could be this horrifying. The story feels dull and doesn’t go anywhere interesting.

The Darkness, which has a 3% Rotten Tomatoes rating and an 19% Audience Score, is one of the lowest-grossing Blumhouse horror movies with a worldwide gross of $10,753,574. The movie follows a family who travel to the Grand Canyon and find a supernatural mystery. While this premise has some promise, the result isn’t exciting. Everything begins when the young son, Mikey Taylor (David Mazouz), discovers a rock that has a strange and confusing symbol.

Blumhouse has many great non-supernatural movies, but The Darkness doesn’t live up to the production company’s horror catalog in general, whether the films are about the paranormal or more grounded. There isn’t a lot of story and since the characters don’t have a lot to do, it’s not much fun to watch.

The Gallows Act II is a Blumhouse movie with a rare 0% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a 29% Audience Score. While the first movie The Gallows from 2015 isn’t a favorite, this is definitely proof that this movie wasn’t a hit with fans. It’s the kind of horror sequel that has faded into the background.

When Auna Rue (Ema Horvath)’s video goes viral, a spirit goes after her, but while this is meant to be scary, the result isn’t even a little bit creepy. Audiences love horror movies for moving and well-drawn characters, terrifying locations and pulse-pounding storylines, but none of those elements are present here. The overall result is a forgettable film.
