Dystopian Shitholes

Films that take place in unpleasant futures where the world hasn't necessarily ended, but humanity has regressed and been put under the rule of an evil government or totalitarian dictatorship, either that or people are living in a corrupt society with a regressive and degenerate culture.

Once again these aren't all going to be great films but this list is meant to just be general categorization.
