This atmospheric update of the famous 1898 Henry James ghost story "The Turn of the Screw" looks great, but fails to tell a cohesive story. Set in 1994, a woman (Mackenzie Davis) cares for two traumatized children, not knowing that several nannies before her and other adults, including the kid's parents, have all come to bad ends. Jump scare clichés abound and the supernatural comes across as confusing rather than scary.

Madonna plays a woman on trial for murdering her wealthy paramour in the middle of a sexual escapade. Willem Dafoe stars as the attorney hired to defend her, who becomes entangled in her wiles. Iconic love scenes include the dripping of hot wax onto bodies, which was roundly considered cringey rather than erotic.

Director Garry Marshall was known as a rom-com master with such hits as "Pretty Woman," "The Runaway Bride," and "The Princess Diaries." In his late career, he directed ensemble romances linked to holidays, such as "Valentine's Day" and "New Year's Eve." "Mother's Day," his final film, stalled the formula despite an all-star cast including romantic comedy powerhouses Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Kate Hudson.

"The Snowman" gets its title from the snowmen a serial killer adds as signature objects at all his crime scenes. They eventually become grisly props that befuddle investigators, in a film set in remote Norway. Michael Fassbender, Charlotte Gainsbourg, J.K. Simmons, and Val Kilmer star in this novel adaptation that was plagued with production issues during filming.

This is a frenetic ode to art cinema that tries conspicuously hard to be cool. James Franco directs and stars in this novel adaptation set in 1970s Hollywood about a film editor enamored with movies. Though it was shot before Franco's acclaimed "The Disaster Artist," it wasn't actually released until after the successful biopic about director Tommy Wiseau (known for directing one of the worst movies ever, "The Room").

This messy actioner starring longtime collaborator Charles Bronson was director J. Lee Thompson's final film. Thompson had a storied, successful career that included the acclaimed "The Guns of Navarone" and 1962's "Cape Fear." "Kinjite" features extra stiff line delivery by Bronson as a cop investigating crimes against Japanese girls that comes across as both racist and exploitative.

Though it received some accolades as a misunderstood achievement, "Anatomy of Hell" was mostly decried by critics as offensive, homophobic, misogynistic, and banal. The drama merges the styles of both philosophical art cinema and porn as two characters—"The Woman" (Amira Casar) and "The Man" (Rocco Siffredi)—engage in explicit acts across a long weekend at a remote estate.

The original "Death Wish" from 1974 was a respected, riveting drama about a veteran, Kersey, who takes revenge on the thugs who killed his wife and raped his daughter. It became an iconic role for actor Charles Bronson. The franchise includes six films, but Bronson's last was "Death Wish V" and by that time the vigilante premise had teetered into violent absurdity. After a mobster murders Kersey's fiancee, he takes on an entire mafia gang with machine guns and clunky one-liners.

Derided before its release for its controversial and misogynistic premise, "Boxing Helena" concerns a psychopathic doctor (Julian Sands) who amputates the four limbs of a woman with whom he's obsessed. The role of the woman, Helena, eventually went to actress Sherilyn Fenn, after controversial walkouts resulted in legal battles by first Madonna, and then Kim Basinger.

Heist films love the one-last-job template, and "American Heist" follows suit, ramping up on genre clichés as the action proceeds. Adrien Brody and Hayden Christensen star as brothers, one a just-released ex-con and the other a reformed mechanic. Rather than pursue the straight and narrow, they're both sucked into a robbery and get waylaid in the bank after the getaway car leaves without them.

"Boogeyman" plays out the childhood conceit that monsters lurking in closets are real. Now an adult, Tim (Barry Watson) lives in a home without closets and sleeps on a floor mattress to prevent under-the-bed horrors from emerging. In spite of this safety, he returns to the childhood home of his former nightmares and all manner of silly boogeyman-inspired fracases ensue.

Dr. Frankenstein myths get a laughable retooling in "Replicas," where Keanu Reeves plays a scientist who can recreate dead humans through cloning.

This slasher film with an all-star cast and art cinema aspirations aims to say something profound about the violence of hashtags, social media, and smartphone pics—especially toward young girls. Unfortunately, the effort falls flat and doesn't quite make sense as 12-year-old girls kill and get killed during a sleepover in a remote forest. Chloë Sevigny, Taryn Manning, Natasha Lyonne, and Timothy Hutton star as the parents and grown-ups on hand.

This straight-to-video action effort stars Sylvester Stallone, with Matthew Modine as Mac, a bank robber who is struck with amnesia during a heist. Mac is sprung from jail, given truth serum, and encouraged to "backtrace" toward the location of the money.

The cultural popularity of "Sex and the City" continually waned after the HBO series came to a close in 2004. By the time the movie version's sequel premiered in 2010, the characters who made the series seem fresh and funny came across as cloying and offensive. In "Sex and the City 2," Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) arrives at a chichi resort in Abu Dhabi with her three best friends in tow.

This dismal horror film aims to render the terrors of security camera footage during live streams to the dark web. It's a sequel to 2015's well-reviewed, "13 Cameras," but it's missing the suspense and genuine creepiness of its predecessor.

James Redfield's mega-bestseller, "The Celestine Prophecy," concerns a man who goes off to Peru in search of spiritual insight and ancient scrolls.

Wooden acting and familiar setups make "211" a rote, seen-before spectacle with a bullet spray sum that rivals that of a combat war film. Cage gives a somber performance devoid of his signature zest.

Based on the bestselling novel, "Left Behind: The Movie" offers a cringefest set in an apocalyptic world, where Christians have disappeared and nonbelievers are consigned to war and sunless chaos. Those "left behind" include Kirk Cameron as a journalist grappling with the aftermath, who is inspired to convert as an Antichrist tries to take over the world.

This pompously ridiculous courtroom drama stars Melissa Joan Hart as a schoolteacher persecuted for her Christian beliefs by a ruthless school board hellbent on enforcing atheism in the district.

Paul Verhoeven's notorious "Showgirls" is a masterpiece of the so-bad-it's-good genre. Glitzy over-the-top sleaze and enthusiastically hammy performances make this jeans-to-sequins story about a Las Vegas ingenue dancer (Elizabeth Berkley) hilariously watchable. Kyle MacLachlan offers a memorable rendition of intimacy and Gina Gershon chews the scenery as a power-dazzled showgirl queen.

"Generation Um…" begins with an extended mumblecore dialogue about excrement and goes downhill from there. Keanu Reeves gives a low-key, deadpan performance as a New Yorker who pals around the city with two young women on his birthday. The trio has various random adventures and conversations that lack intrigue or interest, in this poorly reviewed drama.

Academy Award-winning cinematographer Janusz Kamiński, who shot "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List," makes his directorial debut with this box office flop starring Winona Ryder and Ben Chaplin. While the film proceeds with Kamiński's adept visual style, the story falls flat as a young woman tries to prevent Satan from taking human form.

Mickey Rourke plays a millionaire who preys on a young businesswoman, Carré Otis, in exotic Rio de Janeiro in a series of stilted seductions. The film famously skirted an X rating by cutting out the more explicitly erotic scenes between the two leads, who began a real-life romance during filming.

Anna Todd's popular "After" novels get a second motion picture adaptation with the sequel "After We Collided." The main characters, Tessa (Josephine Langford) and Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) return as the torrid lovebirds in this melodramatic sizzler about the ups and downs in the love lives of the young and beautiful. Filled with sudsy sleaze, its allure doesn't work for any audience beyond diehard fans of the series.

Jean-Claude Van Damme stars with fellow B-action flick toughie Dolph Lundgren in this thriller set aboard a submarine.

Freddie Prinze Jr. was in his teen idol heyday during the release of "Down to You," a rom-com also starring Julia Stiles. Both actors just had recent hits in the same genre—Prinze Jr. starred in "She's All That" and Stiles starred in "10 Things I Hate About You." The seemingly surefire pairing didn't equate to critical or box office success, due to a low-stakes love affair between the leads as they grapple with career versus romance.

With scant connection to the practical realities of higher education, "God's Not Dead" dramatizes the plight of a college student who will fail his philosophy class if he can't prove God exists. Kevin Sorbo plays the atheist professor who demands his student's sign-off on a "God is Dead" statement to pass the crucial course, and who ultimately meets a deadly fate in this cheesy display of Christian propaganda.

Sword and sandal epics were a mainstay of 1950s Hollywood, but contemporary biblical sagas fail to rise to the popularity of the earlier classic dramas.

The popular stop-motion animated series, geared to very young children, follows model trains with anthropomorphized faces who zoom through the island of Sodor learning lessons about, mostly, being a good worker. The live-action adaptation stars Alec Baldwin as Mr. Conductor, in charge of trains, and Peter Fonda as the grandpa of a child soon embroiled in finding a secret railroad. A menacing diesel engine wreaks havoc in an effort that failed to capture the visual charm or coherent narratives of the original.

Italian horror director Dario Argento's "Dracula 3D" comes across as a mindless romp thrown together at random with dreadful CGI, amateur acting, and buckets of blood and banality. Argento is known for subversive horror classics such as "Suspiria" and "Deep Red," but the inanity of this film lacks intention or discernible meaning. Highlights include a giant, murderous grasshopper.

Bo Derek plays Jane in the portentously erotic and super silly "Tarzan the Ape Man," which was directed by her husband John Derek. Critics found the period drama to be a ridiculous and inept adaptation of the familiar source material, the 1912 Edgar Rice Burroughs novel.

The cringe is strong in this romantic adventure starring the rapper Vanilla Ice, who was at the time riding the enormous success of the hip-hop album "To the Extreme," and its hit single "Ice Ice Baby." By the time "Cool as Ice" premiered, the rapper's popularity had cooled and the film opened to dismal reviews and flopped at the box office.

The biopic about FIFA, the corporate entity governing soccer, known worldwide as football, rankled critics and audiences alike. It is widely considered a cliché-ridden bore that attempts to transpose the drama of sports triumph to bureaucratic settings.
