"Bad" Movie Virality: Niche for Meme-Marketing and Cult Engagement
The virality of a negatively reviewed movie on social media (Twitter/X) despite its perceived poor quality suggests a growing trend where certain media gains traction through ironic consumption, meme culture, or 'so bad it's good' appreciation. This opens opportunities for niche marketing strategies focused on cultivating cult followings, leveraging user-generated memes, and creating content that leans into the perceived flaws for engagement. It also highlights the power of social media to drive unexpected forms of engagement, even for critically panned content.

It's not the worst I've ever seen but it is really awful. But it's that kind of awful that is genuinely funny to watch with friends. It's like Morbius or The Room.

Answer: Amazon Prime's War of the Worlds is a terrible movie and essentially a commercial for Amazon. Almost the entire movie takes place on a computer screen. Ice Cube's acting is just plain
