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.
