  1. Jetsons: The Movie
    In an age of Simpson-mania, George, Jane, Judy, and Elroy seem blander than ever.
  2. Little Odessa
    Roth, a great actor, is reduced to a walking sneer, and the picture creeps along in a series of handsome but painfully languorous hazy-shade-of-winter tableaux.
  3. Wes Craven's New Nightmare
    Wes Craven’s New Nightmare lacks the trancelike dread of the original Nightmare, and it features almost none of the ingeniously demented special effects that made the series’ third installment, Dream Warriors, a hallucinatory exercise in MTV horror. This one is just an empty hall of mirrors.
  4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
    The movie recapitulates the absurdist tabloid-redneck comedy of the great, original Chainsaw without a hint of its primal terror.
  5. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
    It’s disappointingly ho-hum, without the spectacular — and often very funny — special effects that have become the hallmark of this series.
  6. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth
    Mostly about the prospect of getting your skin ripped by fishhooks.
  7. The Kitchen
    There’s so much talent in The Kitchen, and so much of it wasted; that’s kind of all you can think about for most of writer-director Andrea Berloff’s debut.
  8. Men in Black: International
    International is better than Men in Black II and worse than Men in Black III, and they’re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory.
  9. Polar
    Åkerlund — the Swedish mastermind behind tastemaking music videos for the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift — has jittery, high-gloss style to spare. But the primary-colored nihilism of his storytelling feels amateurish and ultimately exhausting; a gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there.
  10. Nowhere
    A visual and aural overload that ultimately tires rather than conveys a feeling of f—-d up-ness.
  11. Body at Brighton Rock
    It takes a promising premise loaded with white-knuckle, things-go-bump-in-the-night possibilities and proceeds to do surprisingly little with them over the course of its slim 87-minute running time.
  12. Tank Girl
    Petty, though, is the only reason to see this coy and scrappy comic-book adventure-a trash bin of sci-fi detritus.
  13. The Fanatic
    Unfortunately for Travolta (and for us), only one movie can hold the dubious distinction of being the worst. In place of Wiseau-style eccentricity, The Fanatic has contempt for both its characters and audience.
  14. Surviving the Game
    Essentially, the movie is Cliffhanger with one third the firepower. Ice-T, looking like a depressed lion in his thick Rasta braids, remains a charismatic camera subject, though he’s too much the snaggletoothed urban runt to make a convincing action dynamo.
  15. Career Opportunities
    In a sense, John Hughes doesn’t produce movies anymore. He produces entertainment machines, and Career Opportunities has been shamelessly patched together — like Frankenstein’s monster — from bits and pieces of Home Alone and The Breakfast Club.
  16. Color of Night
    A deliriously brain-dead erotic thriller...The patients (played by, among others, Lesley Ann Warren and Brad Dourif) are all nutjob cliches.
  17. The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men
    Mostly just a bland, sanitized rip-off of the 1938 Errol Flynn version, offering little in terms of new contributions to the tale, and not improving substantially on anything that was already there.

    A Kid in King Arthur's Court
    Watered-down versions of once-winning formulas, with recycled charms best suited to snowbound preteens.
  19. Malice
    The only thing that makes this ludicrous botch even borderline watchable is Alec Baldwin’s enjoyably supercilious performance as a leering stud surgeon who thinks nothing of belting back shots of bourbon before going in to perform an operation.
  20. One Eight Seven
    The prospect of a teacher driven to his students’ level of sociopathic vengeance might have packed a ghoulish wallop had the film viewed it as tragic. Reynolds, however, is just grinding out exploitation thrills.
  21. Striptease
    Striptease lets down its own performers right along with the audience. It’s a Christmas tree someone forgot to string with ornaments.
  22. Love Wedding Repeat
    If only hilarity ensued; instead, Wedding manages to feel both overwrought and underbaked, consistently squeezing the natural charm out of its players in order to bang their hapless miscommunications and personality quirks into the ground. It's enough to make it through once; Repeat may be a bridge too far.

    More American Graffiti
    A coming-of-age picture that never arrives.
  24. Unhinged
    It doesn't help that Pistorius' Rachel spends the first 75 of it like a woman who's never seen a horror movie — if there were noises in the basement, she'd run right down to investigate with a plastic spork in her hand — and the final 15 like a ninja assassin who invented them.
  25. The Broken Hearts Gallery
    If the movie had just a little bit of truth, it could speak to people without "relatable" pandering about how adulting is hard and men are jerks! It's easy to parade around an ostentatiously broken heart, but that only means anything if it comes with baring a little bit of soul.
  26. The Secrets We Keep
    For the most part, though, these secrets aren't worth passing along.
  27. The Craft: Legacy
    By the end of Legacy, each of the witches has become less interesting and less distinct. You’ll find yourself asking, where are the weirdos, Lister-Jones? I'm sorry to tell you: They got left in the ‘90s.
  28. Holidate
    As it is, though, the leaden dialogue and awkward pacing ensure that the shallow, unfunny Holidate never takes off.
  29. Johnny Mnemonic
    Offhand, I can’t think of an actor who could use a brain implant more. The trouble isn’t that Reeves talks like a surfer dude; it’s that he tries so hard not to talk like a surfer dude.

    The Thing Called Love
    You sense River Phoenix would rather be elsewhere, and whether he’s responding to the movie or to something larger is not ours to say. But the feeling persists. It’s like watching a premature ghost.
