Rating Scale

This was established by SummerIsle for Horrorthon 2004. I say this because I wouldn't give all of his examples the same rating.

***** -- A horror masterpiece. Absolutely essential viewing. (Wickerman, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, The Ring, JU-ON, Dawn of the Dead, Let the Right One In, Martyrs)

****1/2 -- Brilliant (Exorcist, the Shining, Hellraiser, Evil Dead, Suspiria, The Others, Inner Senses, The Eye, Kairo )

**** -- Excellent (The Craft, Phantasm, Poltergeist, Evil Dead II, Race with the Devil, The Orphanage)

***1/2 -- Great, fun, worth watching (Halloween 2, Candyman, Elm St.1, Friday the 13th 4, Return of the Living Dead, Elm St. 3, The Omen, Trick R Treat )

*** -- Good, watchable, no real surprises though (Blair Witch 2, Friday the 13th part VI, Elm St.2 and 4, Slither )

**1/2 -- No big deal if you miss it, barely adequate (I Know What you did Last Summer, Bride of Chucky)

** -- Pretty lame (Scream 3, Leprechaun, Pumpkinhead, Motel Hell, Gothika)

*1/2 -- Really bad (Martin, Last House on the Left(original))

* -- God-awful, virtually unwatchable - save for the absolute bottom (Shocker, Return to Horror High)

ZERO STARS: Not a rating to throw around, but some movies make you envy Helen Keller. (Beyond the Wall of Sleep, Return of the Killer Tomatoes, Return to Salem's Lot)
