    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. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    The Accidental Husband
    Limp, transparently plotted flight fodder. Jilt it.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Devil's Due
    The Devil may have all the best tunes, but this really is the worst sort of cinematic karaoke.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Dolittle
    An uneasy combo of adventure film and gag-heavy kiddie-com, Dolittle fails to satisfy on either front.

    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.
  11. 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.

    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.
  13. Winchester
    For all their technical competence, the Spierig brothers don’t show great understanding of how ghost stories actually work.
  14. 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.

    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.
  16. Collateral Beauty
    A-list sad-faces abound in a film where absurd concept is rivalled only by banal execution.

    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.
    • 22 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Getaway
    Alas, director Courtney Solomon burns out all the cool potential, leaving us with a witless and unforgivably tame car wreck.
  19. May I Kill U?
    It’s poorly made and in poorer taste.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    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.
  21. AGGRO DR1FT
    Meddle with sobriety and project it on a nightclub wall and maybe it works. As a film, not so much.
    • 11 Metascore

    Nine Lives
    By the end you will quite possibly hate cats, Spacey, and the ’80s.
  23. 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.
  24. The New Mutants
    A huge misfire that even the most hardcore X-Men fans will find hard to warm to. Avoid, avoid.
  25. Parental Guidance
    The kids are charmless, the writing is bland, and the embarrassing jokes sound like nails down a blackboard.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Playing for Keeps
    Playing For Keeps is awful – and not in a hilarious Ed Wood way.
  27. The Smurfs 2
    It’s the same sappy drivel as before.
    • 35 Metascore

    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.
  29. 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.
    • 16 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    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.
