    The Curse of La Llorona
    It’s a paint-by-numbers would-be blockbuster entirely built around the delusional notion that general audiences can’t be scared by anything more thoughtful than recycled jump shocks and derivative monsters.

    Glass
    Shyamalan comes off so smug by the end of this movie that it’s insufferable — and also kind of jarring. It’s as if he’s learned nothing from his past and still believes he’s pulling a quick one on his audience.

    Instant Family
    If you’re going to tackle serious subject matter, maybe don’t run it through tacky fluff that amounts to a fleeting sugar high. Sure, this movie will get all the right oohs and aahs, sighs and sobs — it certainly won over the freebie test audience at my screening, good god — but it won’t linger.

    The Nun
    It’s about as effective as a Walgreens Halloween display, where any terror derives from uninspiring shock value, and given that each and every pop-up scare can be seen from over a mile away, the movie fails in that respect, too. It’s exhausting even.

    Bad Santa 2
    Everything’s so achingly foul and with zero finesse, which makes for an awful, joyless experience.

    Blair Witch
    Blair Witch is disappointing on multiple levels, all of which have nothing to do with the franchise.

    Antibirth
    Which is why Antibirth feels more like an anti-film, a piss-poor assembly of remarkable cult actors and brazen narratives that start off divorced without ever being married.

    31
    It’s an unnecessary, monotonous, 102-minute scrapbook of better horror films that fails to muster even a spark of originality.

    The Conjuring 2
    It’s slick and stylish to the point of distraction. This isn’t horror; this is exaggerated carnival fare.
