The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
A father and son, both coroners, are pulled into a complex mystery while attempting to identify the body of a young woman, who was apparently harboring dark secrets.
Quite original horror tale made with some sense for the genre, gory, with an atmosphere of doom, but not without some humor.

The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior (2008)
After witnessing his father's murder by the hand of the ruthless General Sargon, Mathayus travels to the Underworld to retrieve the enchanted Sword of Damocles from the dark deity, Astarte.
Lackluster sandal action flick has not much to offer besides some production value, but is highly predictable - and forgettable

Silent Night (2012)
The police force of a remote Midwestern town search for a killer Santa Claus who is picking off citizens on Christmas Eve.
OK, but mediocre, tongue-in-cheek horror parody delivers some cheap humor and gory scenes, but is utterly forgettable.

The Midnight Man (2016)
A girl and her friends find a game in the attic that summons a creature known as The Midnight Man, who uses their worst fears against them.
Not too exciting horror tale has some atmosphere, but uses all the familiar tropes and is hence quite predictable.

Dead Men Walk (1943)
The twin of a kindly small-town physician returns from the grave for vengeance against his brother, who secretly killed him because the twin served Satan.
Pretty bad low-budget horror movies is mainly risible, but entertainingly so.
Halliwell (no star): "Incompetent chiller partly sustained by its star performance."
Maltin**: "...standard low-budget vampire tale - but it's hard to dismiss any film with Dwight Frye as a maniacal assistant."
