  1. The Aeronauts
    As a suspense film, it’s so sluggishly structured that it borders on the avant-garde.
  2. Destroyer
    The filmmakers treat their material sternly and humorlessly, as if there's some great moral lesson to be imparted from Erin's inexhaustible blotto jerkiness.
  3. The Oath
    Even while it asks us to recognize ourselves in a world not too distant from our own, The Oath seems to say that the worst part of a full-fledged American dystopia would be the ruined holiday dinners.
  4. The Front Runner
    The film quickly reveals that the only angle it’s interested in is the one that most sympathizes with Gary Hart.
  5. Gloria Bell
    The film’s open-ended narrative tends to be undermined by the simplicity of its thematic signifiers.
  6. Out of Blue
    Carol Morley’s film wants to blow our minds, but it succeeds only at rousing our boredom.
  7. Amityville II: The Possession
    Supremely awful.
  8. Black '47
    As the historical specificity embedded in the film’s more expansive opening act is abandoned, the more predictable, archetypal trappings of a revenge narrative begin to take hold.
  9. Night Hunter
    The film is so clichéd and scattershot as to make Copycat look like Peeping Tom by comparison.
  10. Lords of Chaos
    Jonas Åkerlund’s breezy approach to this material not only cheapens the music, but also has the effect of downplaying the severity of the scene’s truly unsavory politics.
  11. Antlers
    In Antlers, the big bad is never supposed to be as scary as society’s collective wrongdoing.
  12. Oliver & Company
    Oliver & Company is as out-of-touch as anything the studio ever made.
  13. Robin Hood
    If Robin Hood’s charmingly sh**ty animation comes damn close to redeeming the film from utter vapidity, it’s a damn shame they couldn’t manage to supply a villain with the balls of an Ursula, a Cruella, or a Maleficent.
  14. The Intruder
    The film is ostensibly about the war for the soul of a house, but it couldn’t feel less lived in.
  15. Grease 2
    The sequel to Grease is not much more than a remake, wherein every minute detail is nothing more than an attempt to pilfer the magic of the first film.
  16. Never Look Away
    Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s film prioritizes the sentimental over the true, the tidy moral over the messy reality.
  17. Annabelle Comes Home
    The film is at least as likely to elicit laughs as shrieks, and certainly unlikely to leave a lasting impression.
  18. Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
    The film essentially indulges in the same act of willful distractedness as Ted Bundy’s admirers.
  19. Late Night
    The film lacks for the more lacerating, freely parodic energy of The Larry Sanders Show and 30 Rock.
  20. The Iron Orchard
    Director Ty Roberts’s film is unable to realize that its subject matter is that of a horror story.
  21. Angel Has Fallen
    The film seems to have cobbled its set pieces together from a series of close-ups edited as if by random selection.
  22. Men in Black: International
    The film wastes its charismatic leads in a parade of wacky CG creations whose occasional novelty is drowned out by its incessance.
  23. Triple Frontier
    J.C. Chandor turns an intensely physical narrative into another of his inadvertently generic studies of procedure.
  24. Under the Eiffel Tower
    It’s tough to root for the pair when neither of them experiences genuine hardship. In the end, all dramatic conflict here is sunny and soporific.
  25. Tolkien
    The film preaches of the love of creative freedom, yet finds no original form of expression of its own.
  26. Paddleton
    The film largely plays its scenario with a straight and gooey face, coaxing its actors to indulge their worst tendencies.
  27. The Hummingbird Project
    Throughout, the film can’t decide what attitude to strike toward its characters’ evident greed.
  28. The Witches
    This is a sleek-looking vehicle that’s eager to be scary but not comfortable being ugly.
  29. Brittany Runs A Marathon
    The film is inspirational only in the sense that it may inspire an uptick in Amazon searches for running gear.
  30. A Vigilante
    It conspicuously tries to distance itself from the revenge film’s propensity toward florid excess.
