9. "Blood Red Sky" (2021, Netflix original)
Description: "When a group of terrorists hijacks an overnight transatlantic flight, a mysteriously ill woman must unleash a monstrous secret to protect her young son."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 81%
What critics said: "It's the type of plot that screams action-horror spectacle, yet this high-altitude thriller defies expectations from the start. A beating heart of familial love pumps through the veins of this intense horror-thriller with a vicious take on vampire lore." — Bloody Disgusting
8. "Kung Fu Panda" (2008)
Description: "When a powerful villain comes after peace in his valley, a lazy panda rises to the challenge to realize his destiny and become a kung fu warrior."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 87%
What critics said: "The animation work is dazzling; it's lovingly detailed without being overdone (particularly the opening sequence, which is hand-drawn and looks like prints struck from ancient woodblocks)." — New Yorker
7. "Far Street Part Two: 1978" (2021, Netflix original)
Description: "In the cursed town of Shadyside, a killer's murder spree terrorizes Camp Nightwing and turns a summer of fun into a gruesome fight for survival."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 88%
What critics said: "Its thematic concerns and adding of dimension to the trilogy's story lift it above average genre fare. In this case, the first cut was definitely not the deepest." — Los Angeles Times
6. "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" (2010)
Description: "With a bloodthirsty enemy on a quest for revenge, Bella must reconcile her love for vampire Edward and her growing feelings for werewolf Jacob."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 48%
What critics said: "Everything that could and should be elaborated at length to make for a convincing or even just passably trashy love story is glossed over here just as much as in the last two Twilight movies." — Slant Magazine
5. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" (2009)
Description: "Still reeling from the departure of vampire Edward Cullen, a heartbroken Bella Swan finds comfort in her friendship with werewolf Jacob Black."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 28%
What critics said: "If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama — Bella's fear of aging — instead of a tired one." — Newsweek
4. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" (2011)
Description: "In the epic series' final chapter, Bella and Edward's newborn daughter forces the couple into a life-altering confrontation with the Volturi."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 49%
What critics said: "If anything, this series has gotten dumber and more inert as it has progressed, with this last one finally reaching over into an extended wallow in camp." — Vulture
3. "Mother's Day" (2016)
Description: "The trials and tribulations of several Atlanta moms (and one clueless widower dad) make it a Mother's Day to remember in this ensemble comedy."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 8%
What critics said: "Even if stars Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson are mom's all-time favorites, don't subject her to this cloying, plotless dose of saccharine unless she's done you wrong." — Associated Press
2. "Twilight" (2008)
Description: "When Bella Swan moves in with her father, she starts school and meets Edward, a mysterious classmate who reveals himself to be a 108-year-old vampire."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 49%
What critics said: "As a romance, Twilight is just subpar — a more celibate, moodier take on Dawson's Creek or 90210. As a vampire story, it's a disaster." — CinemaBlend
1. "Fear Street Part One: 1994" (2021, Netflix original)
Description: "After a series of brutal slayings, a teen and her friends take on an evil force that's plagued their notorious town for centuries. Welcome to Shadyside."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 82%
What critics said: "Plays like 'Scream' meets 'Stranger Things' built on a supernatural premise sturdy enough to sustain interest and suspense over nearly six hours." — New York Times
