Ranking May 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

10. The Cured

The Cured Ellen Page
IFC Films

RottenTomatoes Score: 64% (6.3/10)

Box Office: Though it clearly didn't cost much to make, the Ellen Page-starring indie horror has grossed just shy of $75,000 on limited theatrical release, and mixed reviews likely put a dent in its VOD prospects.

Verdict: There aren't enough low-key, low-budget zombie movies, and though The Cured quickly establishes a unique premise - the zombie plague has been cured, but those cured humans are now widely discriminated against - it sadly fails to do much interesting with it.

The political allegory is hilariously unsubtle, Ellen Page is largely wasted, and though it rustles up some intense, oppressive atmosphere, the pacing makes its mere 95 minutes feel decidedly longer.
