Horror movie named worst ever

Los Angeles - Creature is the worst-performing movie of all time.

The horror film recently opened in 1 507 US cinemas , but each screening was seen by an average of just three people, making $330 000 in ticket sales, an average of just $220 in each of the picturehouses

This marks the worst premiere on record for a film given a theatrical release.

God-like creature

Movie website TheWrap.com commented: "Putting that in perspective, $220 is about what one row of moviegoers spent on popcorn for the last Harry Potter movie."

Creature, which was backed by former Universal Pictures president Sid Sheinberg, stars Sid Haig, Mehcad Brooks, Serinda Swan and Dillon Casey and features a group of friends who find themselves in trouble when they find a mysterious being, Lockjaw, a god-like creature who is half-man, half-alligator, in a swamp in Louisiana.

The movie is one of the worst-reviewed of the year so far, drawing just an 11% approval rating from critics.
