  1. Unhuman
    Unhuman is a good-enough breed of afterschool special horror that succeeds in championing positive messages between sloppier fights with the risen dead.
  2. Spoiler Alert
    Real-life tragic romance Spoiler Alert is kneecapped by the plainness of its storytelling, and only marginally saved by its performances.

    Plan 9 from Outer Space
    Bad acting, awful script, glaring continuuity errors-- it's night! It's day! It's night again!-- nightmarish special effects, and the worst sets you've ever seen. It's a chucklefest all the way through.
  4. Causeway
    An otherwise plain film about an unlikely friendship between a returned soldier and a mechanic, Causeway is worth watching for Jennifer Lawrence’s best performance in years.
  5. My Best Friend's Exorcism
    My Best Friend’s Exorcism is gateway horror that puts storytelling above terror. It’s steady on its 1980s teenage-girl friendship drama, but other elements around the messaging stumble.
  6. Elemental
    Visually, Pixar is in absolutely top form with the creation of Element City and its inhabitants. Unfortunately, the story is way too thin and none of it makes any sense.
  7. The Curse of Bridge Hollow
    The Curse of Bridge Hollow is a mundane introduction to horror, with a bit of charm sprinkled in for good measure.
  8. Sick
    Sick is exceptionally paced and provides slasher thrills with breakneck intensity, but loses traction during a wobbly landing that needlessly overcomplicates an otherwise cutthroat thrill ride.
  9. Missing
    Missing owes its best moments to learning from 2018’s Searching, but is a bit of a downgrade in terms of Screenlife usage.
  10. Sr.
    While it’s hard not to be moved by footage of Robert Downey’s final days, the film is more informative than emotional. It contains hints of an intimate story, but mostly flattens a strange and exotic career into a series of light observations.
  11. A Man Called Otto
    A Man Called Otto is a benign comedy-drama that peppers a heart-wrenching story with plenty of eye-rolling jokes to distract you from its perfectly pedestrian plot.
  12. Huesera: The Bone Woman
    The horrors of childbirth become entangled in a demonic subplot as Huesera fits neatly into the list of chilling pregnancy horror tales, but doesn’t add much new to it.
  13. The Drop
    The Drop has a great premise about an accident that forces a couple to revisit their relationship and needs, but it never really lives up to its promise.
  14. The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1
    The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1 is an entertaining return for fans that feels incomplete, even more so for newcomers.
  15. There's Something Wrong with the Children
    There's Something Wrong With The Children is an energetic but expected kiddies-gone-killer tale that wades into some murky waters.
  16. The Devil Conspiracy
    The Devil Conspiracy is a high-concept religious action flick with horror influences that sells its ambitions short but still entertains despite itself.
  17. New Gods: Yang Jian
    New Gods: Yang Jiang is worth watching for its novel animated action sequences, but its muddled story lacks the punch of its predecessor, New Gods: Nezha Reborn.
  18. Magazine Dreams
    Writer-director Elijah Bynum fills the screen with some impressive imagery, but it’s all in service of an ugliness that Magazine Dreams cops out on depicting.
  19. The Outwaters
    The Outwaters is found-footage fearlessness that needs to be seen to be believed, but will be met by only the most divisive of reactions.
  20. We Have a Ghost
    We Have a Ghost is a mostly bland movie, elevated by a few good performances and an intriguing premise that doesn’t go as far as it seems like it should.
  21. Landscape with Invisible Hand
    Landscape with Invisible Hand is brimming with ideas and storylines, but they never come together as a satisfying whole.
  22. Tetris
    Tetris tries its best to make a story about international video game rights into something infinitely more thrilling, with a smidge better than mixed results.

    Slumber Party Massacre II
    The film works, thanks to a surprisingly fun cast, but its best not to take things too seriously and just enjoy the film for what it is -- a brilliantly madcap slasher send-up.
  24. Strays
    The filmmakers definitely go for it in the gross-out gag department, with jokes about droppings and marking and red rockets. But beneath the vulgar laughs, this is a comedy nearly as formulaic and sentimental as the sappy tearjerkers it's lampooning. Its bark is worse than its bite.
  25. Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant
    The Covenant isn’t Guy Ritchie’s best, but standout performances from Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim as bonded heroes save an otherwise bloated military thriller.
  26. Leave the World Behind
    Leave the World Behind has a worthwhile cast, but its paranoid thrills quickly fizzle out en route to a baffling final scene.
    • 41 Metascore

    Jackpot!
    Paul Feig’s Jackpot! may not know what it wants to be – riotous comedy, sincere drama, or sprawling action film – but its breakout supporting players elevate it from pure mediocrity to moderately entertaining.
  28. Self Reliance
    Self Reliance's comedic riff on The Most Dangerous Game benefits from writer-director-star Jake Johnson’s extraordinary ability to commit to a bit – but it's lacking a sense of danger.
  29. Trolls Band Together
    Trolls Band Together hits its chosen notes with its trademark glitter-drunk energy and some bonkers visual invention, but its mashing up of shiny pop hits (not to mention past Trolls movies) approaches exhaustion.
  30. The Pope's Exorcist
    You can find horror movies a lot better than The Pope’s Exorcist, but in an increasingly stale exorcism subgenre, you can absolutely do worse as well – and Russel Crowe’s Italian accent is unintentionally hilarious.
