Ranking March 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

9. Mom & Dad

Mom And Dad Nicolas Cage
Momentum Pictures

RottenTomatoes Score: 73% (6.0/10)

Box Office: The Nicolas Cage-starring black comedy has made $2 million on limited release, but most of its revenue will come from the VOD market. It clearly didn't cost much to make, but Cage's salary alone could prevent it from turning a profit.

Verdict: Crank co-director Brian Taylor makes good on the nuttiness of his horror-comedy's premise - in which parents suddenly decide to start murdering their kids - benefiting from a fantastically demented Cage alongside an arguably never-better Selma Blair.

The satirical premise is played out wonderfully, it's brilliantly paced at just 83 minutes in length, and the action is as clumsy and rough as you'd hope for from a filmmaker like Taylor.

Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes). General video game, TV and film nut. Occasional sports fan. Full time loon.
