The Review Grade Archive

Keep in mind that these reviews are based off on things such as; overall quality of film, scare factor, plot, fun factor, gore factor/FX, originality, atmosphere/mood, impact that the film had at it's time of release, did it endure over time, acting, direction, music...



Some movies are brought up in score by one or more of the aforementioned items, some are brought down. A C movie doesn't mean it sucked; it means it was average/decent/had flaws but also had good points. Each rating (other than Do Not Want!) has a certain flexibility, and possibility of different reasoning behind them. Some examples:



A (9/10-10/10)- Classic/Masterpiece/Fun as all hell/Creepy as all hell/Visually stunning/Gorefest/Sentimental favorite/Groundbreaking.

B (7/10-8/10)- Near Classic/Great movie/Fun/Creepy/Well made/Gory/Sentimental favorite/Not quite groundbreaking.

C (5/10-6/10)- Good genre film/Average/Fun moments/Has some scares/Decent production/Bloody/Watchable/Fairly average overall.

D (3/10-4/10)- Not quite good/Sub par/Not so fun/Boring/Poor production values/Poor FX/Barely watchable/Missed the mark.

Do Not Want!- Too many issues to list, just avoid them. I'm not always going to waste the time and effort to post a review about them either...



+/- added to the rating means it was that close to the next letter grade...
