  1. Stonewall
    At its worst, the film dangerously repackages the queer experience using language invented by those originally deployed to break it apart.
  2. The House
    The House's limp comedic pieces are only sporadically enlivened by a game cast.
  3. Always Woodstock
    The filmmakers play Catherine's disgustingly narcissistic sense of entitlement as endemic to the supposedly girl-next-door charms befitting the film's thoroughly normative gender politics.
  4. The Smurfs
    Like the show, this boring, lazy, clumsily staged, overly lit, unnecessarily 3D-ed contraption even culminates with some half-hearted moral hectoring-in this case, the togetherness of the Smurfs works to validate heteronormative values.

    The Right Kind of Wrong
    The film is so in love with its unoriginal premise that it can't see the forest for the trees, treating reality like an occasionally relevant prop and stalking as a sweetly romantic gesture.
  6. Friday the 13th Part III
    The horny teenagers all seem like banal, plastic, eager-to-please refugees from a sitcom, desperately hoping with their every line of dialogue for a canned laugh.
  7. Big Gold Brick
    Brian Pestos’s flair for go-for-broke zaniness transmutes what might otherwise have been a lump of self-indulgent clichés into gold.
  8. Endless Love
    Shana Feste's film seems blissfully unaware that great fights require truly substantial conflicts.
  9. Cabin Fever: Patient Zero
    This is less a movie than a dutiful renewal of a recognizable title's licensing rights.

    Nature Calls
    Writer-director Todd Rohal fills muddled scenes with manic amounts of jokes that all manage to land with a thud.
  11. Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
    Though it has the requisite murder every 10 minutes or so (including victims snapped in half and punched through the heart, and a triple decapitation), Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives feels more like a harbinger for the Scream series with its self-aware jokiness.
  12. The Gallows
    The film is sstrictly a high-tech spin on one of those Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
  13. Zookeeper
    It's monumentally terrible. "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" now has competition for worst picture of the year.
  14. She Hate Me
    Most contracts are negotiated with John Hancocks, but in She Hate Me, deals are sealed with hot lesbian action. Spike, get a clue.
  15. Pilgrim Song
    It aims for a sense of soulful introspection that instead comes off as an unwitting parody of languid indie conventions.
  16. Daddy's Home 2
    The film portrays parenting as the death of manhood, a final surrender to the castrating effects of domesticity.
  17. The Condemned
    It adds up to a methodically bland, intellectually sluggish exercise in guilt-tripping that's nonetheless still more interested in its rich and sexy characters than the supposed unfortunates.
  18. Jamesy Boy
    The movie adds up to little more than an interminable bildungsroman, sunk early and often by the desperately miscast Spencer Lofranco.
  19. 13
    The filmmakers are so generally clueless about getting the most out of a provocative concept that it's like running into a subtextual brick wall.
  20. Louder Than Words
    Never once does it project an intuitive understanding of how humans would behave or react in the midst of such a shattering misfortune.
  21. Don't Go in the Woods
    Coming across as a promotional showcase for a gaggle of young up-and-coming singer-actors, Don't Go in the Woods tethers together numerous indie-rock musical numbers with a backwoods-horror-film framework that's the definition of an afterthought.
  22. Peppermint
    Pierre Morel's first feature film set in the United States is brainless propaganda for the MAGA market.
  23. Vehicle 19
    As one incoherent action scene follows another, one's left staring at a film with nothing to respond to, waiting for it all to be over.
  24. Nurse 3D
    Rather than capture truly pained souls tangled in exuberant horror tropes, the filmmakers settle for retrograde anguish and warmed-over artistry.

    8 Million Ways to Die
    It’s a fine swan song for Ashby.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Trade of Innocents
    Trade of Innocents is as much a piece of social-justice campaigning as it is a work unto itself, an important fact to remember when considering its many flaws.
  27. Answers to Nothing
    Speculation is futile, as plausible, worthwhile answers are the last things Answers to Nothing is prepared to give. Not that you really cared anyway.
  28. Battle of the Year
    Remarkably, the highlight of Benson Lee's film, essentially a fiction reboot of his Planet B-Boy, isn't the scene where Chris Brown gets punched in the face.
  29. Hurry Up Tomorrow
    The film desperately tries to convince us that it’s peeling back the layers of the Weeknd’s persona in order to show you what’s really going on inside his head. But, in defiance of Anima’s wishes, Hurry Up Tomorrow lacks the honesty to confront what’s there.
  30. Hot Tub Time Machine 2
    Josh Heald's script takes the easy way out, ending the film with a torrent of slapdash sentimentality.
