FAIR

19. Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic (2010) 6

20. Give 'em Hell, Malone (2009) 6

27. Underworld (2003) 5  
    Aristocratic vampire warrior Kate Beckinsale battles werewolf street-thugs in some gothic city. Silly as hell.

FROM BAD TO WORSE

28. Cruel Intentions (1999) CRAP  
    Sarah Michelle Gellar is cute, but do yourself a favor and watch Dangerous Liaisons instead.
    
29. I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) CRAP  
    Stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. It's craptastic slasher fun!
