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 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.

Despite being kind of an odd mash-up of two movies in one, neither of which strongly resembles the series’ standout first entry, 28 Years Later is another win for Danny Boyle and Alex Garland.

The sophomore feature from the Philippou Brothers underwhelmed us about as much as their debut, Talk to Me. What’s worse is that the flashes of originality in that film are almost entirely absent here, in a borrowed hodgepodge indebted most obviously to Hereditary.
