The Internet Movie Database (or IMDb) is an online database of information about films, tv shows and video games, including cast, production crew, fictional characters, biographies, plot summaries, trivia and reviews. The ratings of movies shown are based off the average of everyone who has rated the movie (out of five). Again, this isn't an example of a critic's opinion, this is the mass opinion of lots of different people; meaning that the rating is much closer to an audience's actual reaction to said movie.
MOST POPULAR HORRORHorror, as of late, is dominated by the supernatural. As you can see the majority of the most popular horror movies fall into the supernatural horror sub-genre, but take a look at the ratings.
There is only one on this list which surpasses a 7.9 rating and it is also the least popular of the seven shown, this means that movies people go and see aren't always the ones they like he most, and certainly won't buy on dvd or recommend to others. |
highest rated horrorNow, we switch to the highest rated seven. These are the movies that the vast majority of people have enjoyed and left positive ratings on. There is a lack of all and any supernatural horror here, and two comedy horrors, one of which, The Ornate Lock, has taken the top spot on this list!
Comedy horrors are rare, but when they are done well their humour will bring audiences back for more again and again. |
