WHY WE LOVE TERRIBLE MOVIES(AND KEEP WATCHING THEM)

WHY WE LOVE TERRIBLE MOVIES (AND KEEP WATCHING THEM)

by Oleg-Lucian Leletskikh-Ross & Katarina Pogorelova-Ross

A Book About the Chaos We Can’t Stop Streaming


Why do we rewatch films we know are awful?
Why are we obsessed with cringe, camp, and cinematic disasters?
And what does it say about us that we find joy in the worst scenes ever written?

This book is a love letter to the films everyone loves to hate — and hates to admit they love.

From cult classics like "The Room" and "Sharknado", to algorithmic junk we binge at 2 a.m., Why We Love Terrible Movies explores the psychology, nostalgia, and sheer ridiculousness of modern film consumption.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll say, “Wait, I thought I was the only one who liked that movie.”

Whether you’re a cinephile, a meme addict, or someone who just wants to feel better about watching that thriller with a 3.9 rating — this book is for you.

Inside you’ll find:
– Why “bad taste” is often more honest than “highbrow” cinema
– The science of why our brains crave simplicity and trash
– The surprising beauty of camp, cringe, and cult films
– And a manifesto for embracing your guilty pleasures — guilt-free
