Haven’t heard of half of these. “Nope” was awful. “Invisible Man” was just passable. Also the 2020s aren’t even half over. What a strange article.
There are some odd picks - Host, M3GAN and Nope shouldn’t really make the top ten.
I actually liked M3GAN. Reminded me of an updated “Child’s Play”/Chucky movie.
