  1. An almost constant misfire. From its paper-thin plot to the utterly flat script, virtually nothing works.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The supporting characters suffer from excruciating one dimensionality since none of them really have anything to do but look forlorn and opine about days past.
  2. The only mildly interesting bit of casting comes from bringing Cartwright back (as one of Bennell’s patients).

    Overall, the film is lost and never found. In her first shot as director, Hunt seems direction-less.
  3. An inkling of an inventive concept lurks somewhere deep within the murk. Unfortunately, you'll be hard-pressed to spot it amidst all the meandering diversions, prepubescent humor, imbecilic dialogue, and curious casting choices.
  4. Its cardinal sin is a complete, total, utter, extreme lack of originality. The title does it justice, really. Sacrilege will most likely be viewed as such by horror film aficionados.

    Regardless of the poison of choice, I'm always a little miffed when an actor onscreen is supposedly on a specific drug but too lazy to learn what the actual side-effects are.
  5. Beach House has all the makings of great low-budget horror: limited cast, isolation and a somewhat plausible variable. Sadly, these elements get lost in messy camerawork and a mundane screenplay.

    It drags through a slow love story, lacks the original’s dark, gritty atmosphere, and misses the intensity that made the 1994 film a cult classic. Even the crow legend feels like an afterthought, leaving this remake bland and forgettable.
  6. Veers back and forth between indigestibly syrupy romance and vulgar "ethnic" comedy, with healthy doses of Christian proselytizing thrown in for good measure.

    It’s a given that Julia Garner can play fear, but Whannel barely taps into her skills.
  7. The story and themes behind The Stepford Wives are way past their time. They’re products of the 1960s.
  8. None of the set pieces are inventive, and the dialogue is either overly serious or hacky ha-has. In addition to the bland everyman at the center of the story, all the supporting characters are soulless mouthpieces.
  9. Banks ends up with a glossy Hollywood flick disguised as a straight-to-VOD grindhouse title. It feels dishonest, forced, and overstuffed.
  10. Lady is more of an ensemble picture, and truly the Cove is the most ethnically diverse and community-minded apartment complex in the continental United States.
  11. The new bad movie from Clint Eastwood which takes Dennis Lehane's best-selling thriller and turns it into an inert mess that clocks in at 137 minutes but feels like 137 hours.
  12. It lacks humor. Unlike "Scream", this film is more of a horror-drama, with everybody taking themselves way too seriously.

    It's a damn shame when the dreaded third leg in the franchise feels like a pale imitation of an already pale imitator.
  13. Even though children will probably enjoy the film, without any intelligent humor or surprises, Max Keeble's Big Move will definitely disappoint those who were born before 1988.
  14. The men in this movie are little more than beer ad cliches going through Ford tough motions as though trapped in a bad country music video. There's not a realistic moment or character or performance in the picture.
  15. All of the nutty editing and the loud score just grated on my nerves and failed the story.
  16. Not many actors could do justice to the vanilla story presented by Grogan and screenwriters Scott Frank and Don Roos, but Wilson and Aniston – two of the blandest, most uninteresting actors working today – are just the actors to pull it off.
  17. Kraven The Hunter doesn’t entertain. The only thing it does right is release the hostages after two hours.
  18. This is nothing but an attempt to cash in on the success of “Gettysburg.”
  19. While it would be foolish to expect a completely faithful Shakespeare adaptation from Godard, there is no pleasure in being fooled into thinking that this vague, obscure, annoying, cacophonous wreck of a film is anything but a joke being played by a self-indulgent filmmaker.

    Waiting for the Barbarians isn’t a terrible film, it just never delivers on any of its promises.
  20. This movie is plain stupid from the get go, but at least it looks good.
    • 31 Metascore

    A confused mess.
  21. The title refers to your expected condition when you see this movie. Oh well. It'll be HUGE on video.
    • 17 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A ridiculous messy Z grade film that should have been released straight to video.
