Default Bad Movies With Great Premises

Sometimes it's because of producer interference, sometimes it's because of a limited budget, maybe it's because Kevin Smith was too high when he wrote the second half of the movie, but a lot of movies that sound interesting on paper are straight up garbage. Post em up in here. Bonus points if you can think of an alternative that does a better job with a similar premise.

I'll start it off with an obvious one: The Purge. You create a world where crime is legal for 24 hours a year and it impacts the world positively and you give us a film that wants to be an incoherently preachy version of The Strangers without any of the well-done suspense? What a waste.
