- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonRose ByrneBarbara HersheyThe Lamberts believe that they have defeated the spirits that have haunted their family, but they soon discover that evil is not beaten so easily.Sucked compared to the first one--too many jump scares and plot holes. The pacing suggests it was made for people with very low attention spans.
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsPerdita WeeksBen FeldmanEdwin HodgeWhen a team of explorers venture into the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead.Not scary, movies like this are why found footage style films get a bad rep even if they don't deserve it as a genre.
- DirectorRobert EggersStarsAnya Taylor-JoyRalph InesonKate DickieA family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.There never was a Witch in this movie, at least it's never made clear if there is. Ambiguity isn't necessarily a bad thing in movies, but if you're movie is called "The Witch".....it should have a witch.
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsJames McAvoyAnya Taylor-JoyHaley Lu RichardsonThree girls are kidnapped by a man with a diagnosed 23 distinct personalities. They must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th.Not only is this movie's depiction of split-personality disorder highly inaccurate, but it's just not scary.
- DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntJohn KrasinskiMillicent SimmondsA family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.HUGE plot holes, characters often act in a way that doesn't make sense.
- DirectorTrey Edward ShultsStarsJoel EdgertonChristopher AbbottCarmen EjogoSecure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, a man has established a tenuous domestic order with his wife and son. Then a desperate young family arrives seeking refuge.The movie ends right when it starts to get interesting. BTW, you never find out what "It" is.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsEthan HawkeJuliet RylanceJames RansoneA controversial true-crime writer finds a box of Super 8 home movies in his new home, revealing that the murder case he is currently researching could be the work of an unknown serial killer whose legacy dates back to the 1960s.Other than the grainy footage Ethan Hawke watches, not a whole lot of memorable stuff here. The plot falls apart towards the end.
- DirectorFede AlvarezStarsJane LevyShiloh FernandezJessica LucasFive friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods.Doesn't build tension properly, since the plot moves way too fast. It's not a "fun" horror movie like the movies it's based on, it takes itself wayyyy too seriously. Doesn't do the originals justice by far.
- DirectorAndy MuschiettiStarsJessica ChastainJames McAvoyBill HaderTwenty-seven years after their first encounter with the terrifying Pennywise, the Losers Club have grown up and moved away, until a devastating phone call brings them back.What the hell happened here? Part one was good. Part two tries to mix in comedic elements to poor effect.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsKate BosworthThomas JaneJacob TremblayA couple adopt an orphaned child whose dreams - and nightmares - manifest physically as he sleeps.Laughable special effects ruin what might have been an alright movie otherwise. Normally I will let this kind of nitpick slide but not in this case. You'd have to watch it to see what I mean.
- DirectorDamien LeoneStarsJenna KanellSamantha ScaffidiDavid Howard ThorntonOn Halloween night, Tara Heyes finds herself as the obsession of a sadistic murderer known as Art the Clown.It's just about the least original slasher ever.
- DirectorDennis IliadisStarsPatricia ClarksonGenesis RodriguezTopher GraceA man recently released from a mental institute inherits a mansion after his wealthy parents die. After a series of disturbing events, he comes to believe it is haunted.Topher Grace is great but can't save this movie from sucking.
- DirectorWilliam Brent BellStarsLauren CohanRupert EvansJames RussellAn American nanny is shocked that her new English family's boy is actually a life-sized doll. After she violates a list of strict rules, disturbing events make her believe that the doll is really alive.It's just a guy hiding in the house. It's not a doll at all. It's stupid.
- DirectorBabak AnvariStarsNarges RashidiAvin ManshadiBobby NaderiAs a mother and daughter struggle to cope with the terrors of the post-revolution, war-torn Tehran of the 1980s, a mysterious evil begins to haunt their home.This movie is highly overrated.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsMichael FassbenderKatherine WaterstonBilly CrudupThe crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape.Characters act in a way that defies logic (see also A quiet place)
- DirectorAnthony DiBlasiStarsJuliana HarkavyJoshua MikelHank StoneA rookie cop is tasked with taking the last shift at a police station before it is permanently closed, but it turns into a living nightmare.This movie simply doesn't know what it wants to be, and takes you along for the ride.
- DirectorAdam RobitelStarsJill LarsonAnne RamsayMichelle AngAn elderly woman battling Alzheimer's disease agrees to let a film crew document her condition, but what they discover is something far more sinister going on.Better than As Above, So Below but still weak as far as found footage movies go.
