15 Films Audiences Got Right (But Critics Got Wrong)

Rotten Tomatoes: 98%

IMDb: 6.7

This Australian Torture-Porn horror is decent, but does it deserve 98% on Rotten Tomatoes? Definitely not.

Thanks to skilled direction, strong acting and many memorable scenes, not to mention a mesmerizing villain, this is a good, 7/10 horror film that is definitely worth watching, but from the 98% score you'd expect it to be a fully-fledged masterpiece. Critics generally aren't too kind to Torture Porn or Splatter horror films, so this incredible score is very surprising.

The audience scores should be the ones checked in this case, since they reflect a good but flawed movie. The Loved Ones is slight, somewhat shallow and ultimately unmemorable and looking at other recent horror directional debuts such as The Witch, It Follows and Hereditary, there's simply no comparison.

The fact that this is rated higher than horror classics such as Halloween, Carrie, The Shining, The Conjuring, The Wicker Man, Don't Look Now, The Birds, Ring (1998), 28 Days Later, Audition, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Silence of the Lambs, Scream, The Thing, Suspiria, The Haunting and even The Exorcist will send all horror fans into a full-on all-caps rage.

Should Be Rated: 65%-75%
