Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can't name a single female character who isn't a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn't land for me, mostly because it's so surreal that I can't get invested in the characters as actual people.
