  1. Into the Forest
    Essentially a post-apocalyptic telenovela, it sanitizes the concept of sisterhood, and even womanhood.
  2. The Choice
    Most Nicholas Sparks adaptations say, in cinematic terms, nothing so complicated as "roses are red." This one just points to a garden and shrugs.
  3. Shelter
    The characters' marginalized social standing is less indicative of a real-life epidemic and more akin to window dressing.
  4. The Book of Henry
    Schmaltzy, manipulative, and tonally schizophrenic, The Book of Henry is such a monumentally misguided venture that it ends up being oddly, if unintentionally, compelling.
  5. Godzilla vs. Kong
    Godzilla and Kong’s brawls have the ennui-inducing feel of a child arbitrarily smashing action figures together.
  6. Bridget Jones's Baby
    The Pinkberry solipsism of this particular franchise all but requires our heroine persist as a lovelorn martyr for her audience’s benefit.
  7. The Armor of Light
    It doesn't trust the inherently complex material to speak for itself or care to consider its consequences beyond instances of manufactured, gut-wrenching immediacy.
  8. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
    The Curse of Michael Myers’s supernatural angle is understandably its weakest link, seeing as it was the aspect of the film that test audiences disliked the most.
  9. Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong
    The script labors to give the film a strong sense of place, but strange lapses confirm a sense that the city isn't a character here.
  10. Prescription Thugs
    It's symptomatic of the one-man-show form of polemical exposé that's come to dominate, and deteriorate, documentary practice.
  11. Casa Grande
    The film uses its critique of white privilege as a means to woo the legitimizing gaze of international audiences.
  12. My Little Pony: The Movie
    Visually plain and ploddingly paced, My Little Pony: The Movie suggests four episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic smushed together with a Sia music video tacked on at the end.
  13. Diablo
    It inelegantly attempts to infuse a standard revenge western with the gravitas of a war veteran's coming-home odyssey.
  14. War Dogs
    The film is unrepentantly cynical when it comes to the global business of warmongering, but proves unsurprisingly earnest when it comes to the lure of the American dream.
  15. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
    For all the attempts to update King Arthur to be cool and sexy, neither the character nor the film around him musters any spark.
  16. Cabin Fever
    Travis Zariwny detachedly regards the material as shtick to be waded through with quotation marks.
  17. Yoga Hosers
    Any of the film's attempts at moralizing are subsumed by Kevin Smith’s obsession with taking aim at his critics.
  18. Solace
    It joylessly coopts the hoariest stylistic tics and narrative tropes from your run-of-the-mill 1990s thriller.
  19. The Snowman
    The Snowman is missing so much basic connective tissue as to be rendered almost completely inexplicable.
  20. Tallulah
    Relevant facts about each character are dutifully punched out, in earnest speeches or actions that are often wildly overdrawn.
  21. Colonia
    Nothing more than leftwing exploitation cinema, a cheap thriller dressed up in the guise of a social-justice exposé.
  22. Captain Fantastic
    The film is premised on a radical act that it buries beneath a grueling avalanche of quirk.
  23. Christine
    It largely fails to animate Christine Chubbuck's inner turmoil, focusing instead on broad, blunt externalities.
  24. The Intervention
    Clea DuVall crafts an entire film out of aborted attempts at a revelation that feel completely anodyne.
  25. Creative Control
    The film is overrun with characters, but it's less interested in their identity than their plasticity.
  26. The Darkness
    This enterprise is so listless that one can't even work up a proper head of self-righteous steam over the spooky Native American clichés that drive the plot.
  27. Sacrifice
    The film's very design turns out to be a whimpered bark followed by a toothless bite.
  28. Too Late
    All the narrative hopscotching is little more than a superficial ploy to gussy up a clichéd redemption tale.
  29. Nina
    The film is committed to the sort of broad strokes that reduce a great artist's life to a spectacle of self-pity.
  30. The Infiltrator
    Its clunky incidents of exposition leave us with no real understanding of what anyone is thinking or feeling.
