The year kicked off with Ryan Coogler’s acclaimed period horror Sinners, followed by the unsettling psychological chiller Bring Her Back, the supernatural spectacle Final Destination: Bloodlines, Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic zombie sequel 28 Years Later, and, more recently, Zach Cregger’s Weapons. Impressively, each of these titles has secured a strong critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.
