Every movie on this site gets a Horror Score: a number from 0 to 100 based on five things: how graphic the gore is, how hard the movie tries to scare you, how relentless the intensity is, the weight of the content warnings, and its tone.
Take the quiz and find out what movies won’t wreck your weekend!
One from each tier, pulled from scored movies on the site.
Each movie is manually rated based on a number of factors
Gore is weighted heaviest because it’s the fastest way to push a casual viewer out of the room. Content warnings stack fast: two heavy tags like SA and torture already put 12 points on the board before anything else counts. On the other hand, comedic tones add an approachability to horror that lessons the score a bit.
If the automatic formula doesn’t feel right for a particular movie, I override it, so the scores are accurate.
