Chris Stuckmann’s debut feature is a dreadful amalgam of a dozen other movies – some good, some bad – with an unintentional howler of an ending. Woeful.

Guillermo del Toro’s love of monsters means he saps The Creature of any real sense of menace. It’s a shame, because it’s a gorgeous movie, with top-notch performances from its two leads.

Another go-around with Ethan Hawke’s Grabber is bound to be at least a little fun, but there’s not enough of him, and Derrickson can’t fully commit to the protagonist switch he’s stumbled into.

The eighth installment in the found footage anthology franchise is a half-step up from the period-piece trilogy, but until they extricate themselves from this splatstick rut, these films will never live up to the promise of the first two.

The saggy midsection of a trilogy that should only have been one movie – or none at all – this latest installment is shapeless, bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Just woeful.

Not as much of a trainwreck as The Devil Made Me Do It, the final(?) installment in The Conjuring series still suffers from the same storytelling pitfalls and overall churchiness as the rest. The first remains really the only one worth watching.

If you were trying to create the world’s most generic, lifeless, bog standard exorcism film, you’d be hard pressed to do better than The Ritual. Al Pacino and Dan Stevens deserved better.

While Zach Cregger shows a deft hand at nurturing intrigue and creeping dread, he is once again hamstrung by his penchant for hard left turns into comedy. The climax is fun, but left us wanting.

This latest lifeless rehash of a 90s slasher is a little less self-serious than Screams V and VI, but probably also dumber.

The Shock Doctors were already the farthest thing from M3GAN stans, but this needlessly convoluted sequel seals the deal. It’s given up on horror, and it’s an action comedy with no action and bad jokes.
