RT Freshness: 32%

Critic Consensus: “Very young viewers may be entertained by UglyDolls — if only because they’re less likely to recognize the many familiar elements in its affirmative yet formulaic story”

The Intruder

Directed by: Deon Taylor

RT Freshness: 31%

Critic Consensus: “The Intruder might appeal to fans of shout-at-the-screen cinema, but this thriller’s ludicrous plot robs it of suspense — and undermines Dennis Quaid’s suitably over-the-top performance”
