  1. Lord of Misrule
    Lord of Misrule feels like it was made with a lack of understanding of what actually works about its premise, and the result is a constant ebb-and-flow of being drawn in by the imagery and pushed back out by the storytelling.
  2. You Should Have Left
    You Should Have Left often feels like a watered-down version of The Shining, but Koepp still manages to maintain interest in its mind-bending story.
  3. The Exorcism
    Crowe’s performance is The Exorcism’s saving grace. His dedication to crafting a character whose struggles he wears on his sleeve elevates the lackluster horror elements that are consistently on display, but that don’t do much for the overall story.
  4. Book Club: The Next Chapter
    The Book Club sequel will make you feel as though you’re reuniting with old friends for some wine and life lessons, and that’s enough.
  5. Honey Don't!
    Even a joyfully queer reimagining of the genre’s classically hard-boiled protagonists fails to inject enough new energy to maintain consistent intrigue, prompting viewers to seek a resolution to the central mystery well before its comparatively short 89-minute running time elapses.
  6. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has a lot of potential and a chilling new villain, but too many characters and a slower plot leads to dimmed thrills.
  7. Reminiscence
    Overly reliant on tropes that have been done to death, Reminiscence emerges as an inert ghost of the past with no innate value or meaning.
  8. Dance First
    Dance First won’t strike a chord with everyone, but it's also not intended for mainstream appeal, and those who connect with it will do so deeply.
  9. Damsel
    Damsel is a lifeless experience. The filmmakers have assembled all the constituent parts of an interesting fantasy adventure film — genre-bending premise, a starry cast, locations with character, and some creative creature design — but the connective tissue is paper-thin.
  10. Above Suspicion
    True crime buffs could find something here, but they might be better off reading the novel it's based on. Susan Smith's story deserved to be told, but there had to have been a better way to do it.
  11. Shotgun Wedding
    There are some good moments in Shotgun Wedding. Lopez, Coolidge, and Lenny Kravitz are game and there is a Herculean effort from the trio to do something worthwhile with the script they are given.
  12. Capone
    Capone has lofty ambitions of being the next great crime drama, but falls short of finding a compelling story about its subject's final days.
  13. Earwig and the Witch
    Earwig and the Witch has all the parts needed to be a fun and memorable film, but seems to lack the manual for how to bring it all together.
  14. Mortal Kombat II
    What enjoyment there is to draw from the action, which has its ups and downs, is tainted by the skepticism of this whole endeavor that's baked into the filmmaking. Even knowing better which direction they should go in, McQuoid & Co. remain frustratingly unwilling to commit to it. What they've made is tellingly at its best when making fun of itself.
  15. Resort to Love
    Resort to Love doesn’t do anything unexpected or exciting and, despite its overly saccharine silliness, it is entertaining enough to watch in passing.
  16. One Way
    One Way won’t carve a place into the crime thriller pantheon, but its most notable achievement should be setting the stage for Andrew Baird and Colson Baker’s inevitable rises in the film industry.
  17. Joker: Folie à Deux
    Joker: Folie à Deux is not always fully thought through. This is why the original was often misread in the first place. This film is full of quality craftwork, performances, and images. There's much here to appreciate, especially visually, and I enjoyed my time with it. But I'd recommend not asking much more of it than that.
  18. Werewolves
    The result may not be groundbreaking, but it's fun and it does what it sets out to do, creating an interesting supernatural horror that keeps tensions high.
    • 46 Metascore

    The Invisible Man's Revenge
    Since there are four films that precede this one, there are definitely less ideas to play around with, but the film still comes up with an interesting morality tale.
  20. Dolly
    For all of its missteps, calling Dolly an outright bad movie still doesn't quite prove an accurate descriptor for Blackhurst's slasher thriller. It's got a solid cast of performers, occasionally stylish direction, and some shocking brutality, but can never quite find the right rhythm to bring it all together.
  21. Project X
    Unlike prior "house party" movies, Project X says nothing meaningful about its subject matter, and instead paints teens as an unlikeable and, worse yet, reckless bunch of automatons that would risk injury to themselves as well as others just for a passing glance from a pretty girl.
  22. Irish Wish
    Lohan's latest Netflix movie is an inoffensive rom-com with ample amounts of cheesiness and heart.
  23. Back in Action
    It's not outright terrible, but it's nothing to get too excited about, either. There's even a sweet subplot about mother and daughters and familial trust. It's an overall cute family movie and anyone who adores Diaz and Foxx will find a way to enjoy it.
  24. IF
    Despite the clunkier elements, though, IF pushes through with its warmth and optimistic tone, paving the way for some truly effective moments.
  25. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
    Genuinely fun and touching in parts, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania casts familiar characters in new molds, adding more heart to the franchise.
  26. Exit Plan
    Even with a nuanced performance from Coster-Waldau and beautiful cinematography, Exit Plan is a slow-burn drama that fizzles out in the end.
  27. The Watchers
    The Watchers is a strange film. It has disconcerting moments, but it never rises above its premise. The story itself is half-formed at best, and the ending is so outlandish that I was stunned by how badly it’s executed. Somewhere in the supernatural horror is a film that’s worth its salt. Sadly, The Watchers is not even worth the price of a theater ticket.
  28. They/Them
    They/Them is impactful for its reason for existing and the excellent ensemble cast that deserves to shine. The film is not unwatchable; it is merely without excitement. Satisfying as it is for the film to directly take aim at dangerous institutions, there is sadness in knowing this horror couldn't find a happy middle.
  29. Lonely Planet
    The film is melancholic and contemplative in a way that isn’t always the case with romance genre films.
  30. Samaritan
    In the end, Samaritan commits a cardinal sin of the superhero genre: It thinks a high-profile actor with vaguely defined superpowers is enough to make the film interesting when it clearly needs something more.
