  1. The King's Daughter
    There could have been a lot to love about The King’s Daughter, but it seems the creative team simply did not know what to do with it.
  2. First Date
    First Date is a hodgepodge of familiar tropes and homages to teen romcoms and, while there is a sliver of promise, the film is lacking in charm.
  3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    Despite featuring tense chase and gore sequences that are fairly well-made, Texas Chainsaw Massacre butchers Leatherface's legacy in the dullest of ways.
  4. The Sky Is Everywhere
    The Sky Is Everywhere may be a visual treat, but it's soured by a complete lack of balance in the story structure, characterization, motivation, and pacing.
  5. Student Body
    Not dissimilar from the real world, the scariest part of Student Body is patriarchy and gaslighting, not getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer by the school's mascot.
  6. Gator Lake
    Unfortunately, the filmmaker's style lacks the same panache or intrigue as many other creature feature directors before him, which could partly be attributed to Gator Lake being his feature directorial debut, but also could just be that the movie's modest budget prevented some of his grander ambitions from coming to fruition.
  7. A Breed Apart
    Given The Furst Brothers are clearly aiming for an over-the-top and ridiculous tone, I'm sure the awful CGI was part of their vision, but rather than feel like a tongue-in-cheek genre film, it instead makes the movie one of the best it's-so-bad-it's-good horror films I've seen in a long time.
  8. The Banished
    While she may not have been given the best material to work with, Meg Clarke proves to be one of the few bright points in The Banished as Grace.
  9. La Soga: Salvation
    From the completely random consortium of villains and bosses to fight scenes that are at times literally shot backward, a lot is going wrong.
  10. Falling
    Where there could have been thoughtful, poignant commentary about life’s regrets and the turmoil that can continue to permeate a father-son relationship over time, Mortensen drops the ball completely. Without a cohesive story, Falling spirals and offers little beyond good performances.
  11. Vanquish
    Replete with atrocious visual effects and sound design, Vanquish emerges as a ghost of an exciting action thriller with a tired, deadpan storyline.
  12. Diary of a Wimpy Kid
    Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a mediocre children's film that — 11 years after the first movie and 14 years after the initial hit book — feels at best derivative, and at worst unnecessary.
  13. The Sinners
    With no buildup, tension, or interesting characters, The Sinners fails in its execution and exploration in the themes it puts forth.
  14. Bleeding
    While the story at the center of it all proves intriguing, the execution dulls the narrative to the point of ruin.
  15. Riff Raff
    I don’t go out of my way to drag films, as there is so much time and effort put into every project, and a film of this caliber was likely made with the best of intentions. But intending to craft a pitch-black dark crime comedy is different from actually executing one well. And Riff Raff just doesn't land.
  16. Love Spreads
    Unevenly paced and with few laughs, Love Spreads fails to tell an engaging story and focuses too much on underdeveloped, unlikable characters.
  17. Scoob!
    Those looking for classic Scooby-Doo or anything more than superficial entertainment can skip Scoob! - even with the dearth of new movies.
  18. The Ruse
    With The Ruse , writer-director Stevan Mena aims to go for a more grounded and slow-burning thriller, but unfortunately, it lacks any kind of burn or tension.
  19. Five Nights at Freddy's 2
    The dialogue is clunky and almost universally awkwardly performed, much more so than in the first movie. The tonal mix of horror and silliness feels more jarring than complementary, and the filmmaking, which could accomplish so much just by sticking to genre fundamentals, is often egregiously sedate.

    Old Guy
    The film's dialogue is insincere and cookie-cutter, failing to deliver naturalistic character growth. And surmounting its inefficacy at simulating humanity is perhaps Old Guy's most glaring action movie sin: it's truly boring.
  21. The Merry Gentlemen
    For fans of Murray's career, The Merry Gentlemen gives the actor another chance to shine in an otherwise unremarkable movie.
  22. Choose or Die
    Those who may be new to the genre or merely want to disengage for a little bit will find merit in Choose or Die. But for bona fide horror fans, the derivativeness and the flatness of the execution is too much to tolerate.
  23. Asking for It
    Asking For It is a pop-rock take on the revenge thriller that tries to take a stance, but fails to make a case for why it exists. Asking For It often feels like a mansplaining version of what a modern revenge thriller should be.
  24. Running on Empty
    The rom-com idea was solid, strong actors like Hale delivered, and chemistry between the leads was there. This can go a decent part of the way, but without more character development, direction, and a clear focus for the film, it's hard to offer much in terms of praise.
  25. Dig
    Sadly, Dig has little to offer audiences other than its magnificent soundtrack.
  26. Italian Studies
    Leon imbues the film with an uncertain sense of dread, but he doesn’t lead the story or its protagonist anywhere worthwhile. It’s as though the narrative was designed specifically to capture the feeling of being lost in the city and what that might do to someone, but there’s very little exploration of Alina’s interiority for it to be satisfying.
  27. Deep in the Forest
    Deep in the Forest certainly has a point of view, but it is ultimately a meandering slog.
  28. A House on the Bayou
    Despite its potential, A House on the Bayou has nothing new or interesting to offer, with the final twist further undoing the film's scattered charm.
  29. The Moment
    None of it works. I'll cut to the quick: The Moment is an unmitigated disaster.
  30. Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story
    Abraham’s Boys wants to drive home a message about violent legacies and the never-ending cycle of generational trauma, but the payoff feels incongruous with the setup, the final kill feels unearned, and the B-movie execution makes it unintentionally funny.
