Elizabeth Banks’ “Cocaine Bear”
Entertaining set pieces only just hold the film together under the weight of ropey CGI and missed opportunities at suspense and horror

Gerard Johnstone’s “M3GAN”
Competent but predictable satirical “horror” that never quite rises to the quality of the design and performance of the robot at its centre

Shinichirou Ueda’s “One Cut of the Dead”
A hilarious ode to guerilla filmmaking with an innovative three act structure that pays homage to low-budget horror
