Metacritic
Metacritic is a website that aggregates reviews of music albums, games, movies, TV shows, DVDs, and formerly, books. For each product, a numerical score from each review is obtained and the total is averaged. We can use this as a tool to judge the critical success of certain sub-genres within horror and give us an idea on what we need to do in order to make our horror piece successful. For this list I will be ranking the top ten in terms of metascore however the user score will also be shown for comparison and discussion.
