Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that’s an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.
I’ll go first: I think “Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows” was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.
Don’t know if it quite qualifies, since it’s sitting at a 61% audience score, but my favorite horror film Event Horizon has only a 33% critic score. I find a lot of good horror movies sit at or below the 60% mark on Rotten Tomatoes though. If a horror movie is too well rated, it’s probably not very scary and not interesting to me.
Those scores are just Ordo Chronos trying to hide the truth from us.
Wow! That gem is only at 33%?! I should try and check more low percentage horror movies. Thank you for sharing this.
Event horizon was good but man it gave teenage me nightmares
I never watched it until people started saying it was taking place in the Warhammer universe, then I saw it and in that context I liked it.
