Top 10 turkeys

The Meg (12)

10 Had its fun moments, but dodgy dialogue and a plodding pace saw it end up all at sea.

Bad Samaritan (15)

9 A thriller that started off well before falling into generic tropes and silly shifts in character.

Mandy (18)

8 A second slot for Nicolas Cage. Critics inexplicably adored this pretentious, frustrating oddity.

Venom (15)

7 Tom Hardy tried his best but couldn’t save a tonal mess. The worst comic-book flick of 2018.

The Hurricane Heist (12)

6 This full-of-wind actioner defied realism while somehow falling short of pulse-racing action.

Mile 22 (18)

5 An intriguing set-up got bogged down with plot strands that went nowhere and unlikeable leads.

Mom and Dad (15)

4 Even by Nicolas Cage’s manic standards, he was over-the-top in this terribly scripted mess.

The Nun (15)

3 A major letdown as it failed to build on a terrifying presence set up in the Conjuring series.

Death Wish (15)

2 Bruce Willis slept-walked his way through this ill-advised, cliched remake.

Winchester (15)

1 One thing a horror movie should never be is dull, but not even Helen Mirren could liven this up.
