    Return to Silent Hill
    Loosely based on the 2001 game Silent Hill 2, Return to Silent Hill can be an atmospheric horror film with original creature designs worthy of Konami's legendary franchise. But a confusing plot, mediocre visual effects, and over-the-top acting might make director Christophe Gans' newest Silent Hill adaptation just as divisive as his first attempt 20 years ago.
  2. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
    To be fair, Blood and Honey 2 is actually a notch above its predecessor, if only because the production values are (relatively) higher. But despite a watchable turn from Chambers, this is largely Neanderthal filmmaking, even with hospital janitor Simon Callow offering up a Scottish accent and a lot of pointless exposition.
  3. Madame Web
    While the visuals are refreshingly clean and grounded for a modern superhero film, the story is bogged down by exposition and egregious product placement.
  4. Night Swim
    A damp-squib horror with zero thrills. Russell and Condon deserve much better.
  5. Expend4bles
    Sly and Statham are always watchable – not least when the latter takes a job as security for an odious social media influencer. But they can’t save this mission from going painfully pear-shaped.
  6. Poolman
    You can at least say for the film that it’s clearly targeting a surreal, stoner vibe. But even cutting it that slack, there’s barely anything here to recommend.
  7. AGGRO DR1FT
    Meddle with sobriety and project it on a nightclub wall and maybe it works. As a film, not so much.
  8. Sir Billi
    This distinctly amateurish animation may be targeted at tots, but you’d have to particularly hate your children to inflict on them this tale of an elderly vet (Connery) trying to save a missing beaver.
  9. The New Mutants
    A huge misfire that even the most hardcore X-Men fans will find hard to warm to. Avoid, avoid.

    Dolittle
    An uneasy combo of adventure film and gag-heavy kiddie-com, Dolittle fails to satisfy on either front.
  11. Winchester
    For all their technical competence, the Spierig brothers don’t show great understanding of how ghost stories actually work.

    Everything, Everything
    Stenberg’s effervescent turn can’t save this from curdling early into manipulative, melodramatic mush.
  13. The House
    Strained, shrieky and lacking likeable characters, it bizarrely forgoes any insight into parenting, gambling, or the cost of education for Grand Guignol limb-lopping.
  14. Baywatch
    Unfunny, unthrilling and unsexy, this doesn’t even reach the low bar set by the source material.
  15. Criminal
    Jones and Oldman are on autopilot, while Costner grizzles like a sore-headed bear. Only Gal Gadot, as Reynolds’ widow, has any cred in this utter pap.
  16. Collateral Beauty
    A-list sad-faces abound in a film where absurd concept is rivalled only by banal execution.

    Nine Lives
    By the end you will quite possibly hate cats, Spacey, and the ’80s.
  18. Mortdecai
    Charmless, mirthless and witless, this waste of time is another black mark on Depp’s card, while his co-stars fare little better. Even low expectations won’t help you here.
  19. May I Kill U?
    It’s poorly made and in poorer taste.
  20. Devil's Due
    The Devil may have all the best tunes, but this really is the worst sort of cinematic karaoke.
  21. 47 Ronin
    “I will search for you through 1,000 worlds and 10,000 lifetimes!” Reeves promises his beloved. Anyone who sits all the way through this glossy folly will know exactly how that feels.

    The Christmas Candle
    There are star names in the cast – Sylvester McCoy, John Hannah, Samantha Barks – but ultimately the film rests on Boyle, who sadly has all the acting nuance of a Speak N’ Spell.

    Getaway
    Alas, director Courtney Solomon burns out all the cool potential, leaving us with a witless and unforgivably tame car wreck.
    • 38 Metascore

    Free Birds
    Any comparisons with Chicken Run are rendered poultry by half-baked gags. Even tykes will tell it to get stuffed.
  25. The Smurfs 2
    It’s the same sappy drivel as before.

    Stand Up Guys
    Most ‘one crazy night’ movies (from After Hours to Superbad) thrive on a sense of escalation, but Stand Up Guys only seems to lower the stakes as it stumbles tediously on.
  27. The Big Wedding
    The Big Wedding isn’t telling a story so much as selling a lifestyle – one that, rather like Heigl’s morning sickness, makes you want to vomit.
  28. Scary Movie 5
    That every jibe lands woefully wide is no surprise, though we’ll give leading lady Ashley Tisdale credit for giving her all to a film that mercifully won’t be around long enough to do any lasting damage to her post-High School Musical career.

    The Host
    Steven Spielberg famously retained his childhood sense of wonder. On this evidence, Meyer has maintained a nine-year-old's notion of titillating romance.
  30. Movie 43
    Quite why A-listers Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman and Emma Stone (among others) aligned themselves with this excruciatingly moronic compilation of shorts is anybody's guess.

    Playing for Keeps
    Playing For Keeps is awful – and not in a hilarious Ed Wood way.
  32. Parental Guidance
    The kids are charmless, the writing is bland, and the embarrassing jokes sound like nails down a blackboard.

    Texas Chainsaw 3D
    Sadly, this leap onto the stereoscopic bandwagon marks a new low for the franchise, as far away in quality from the '74 original as it is in years.
    • 16 Metascore

    Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
    The nurse-monsters look cool - think HR Giger in Ann Summers kit - but the plot and burning fairgrounds are so OTT they dispel any chill factor.
    • 14 Metascore

    The Accidental Husband
    Limp, transparently plotted flight fodder. Jilt it.
    • 37 Metascore

    Mercury Rising
    Past an impressive siege opening, everything in this `thriller' is terrible: the action, the supposed tension, the dialogue and the plot. Every opportunity to make it good is missed.

    Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from Evil
    A disco dancing Jamie Lee Curtis is long gone, and so is any sense of logic in this drivelsome fourth Prom, which takes itself far too seriously.
    • 28 Metascore

    Howard the Duck
    Nothing about the film works. And the festering boil on this arse-end of cinematic quality is the duck suit itself: it’s about as realistic as a builder’s quote, with less than a tenth of the aesthetic charm of the same builder’s bum cleavage.
