I don't want to jinx anything, so here's The Roundup....
3. Wrong Turn
Better than the Paramount+ reboot, but not as good as the original (which wasn't really that great to begin with). The setting made for some easy scares, and the young cast was game - especially rising Scream Queen Sophie Thatcher.
2. The Case of Molander
I was not familiar with the background of this story very much, and based on the brief logline was expecting yet another film in the longline of mediocre WWII films. Instead, I found myself quite engrossed by the story.
1. The House of Black
While I did find the film a bit slow at times - and a clueless Muggle like myself could have used a bit more context/explanation of the world of the film - overall The House of Black was a decent start to what is hopefully a fruitful new franchise for the studio.
3. The House of Black
I liked the film, but I have to give it mention down here in the bottom 3 at least briefly. Like I said before, I'm not very familiar with the Harry Potter mythos, so I found myself wondering why certain characters/moments/plot points were important at times.
2. Wrong Turn
Like I said before, this one did not reach the heights of even the first Wrong Turn film. I didn't find this one particularly clever with its kills and felt it didn't utilize the unique element of the Wrong Turn franchise nearly enough (that being (inbred, mutant cannibals in the woods).
1. Box Office
The House of Black did pretty well at the box office, but I can't help but think the studio was hoping for more (I agree that having the Drama genre probably killed a chunk of potential box office).
