3. The overall score
- Each kind of scare is weighted: gore loses a point, and creepy and jumpscares gain one.
- Gore 4.0 − 1 = 3.0
- Creepy 5.0 + 1 = 6.0
- Jumpscares 4.0 + 1 = 5.0
- Suspense 5.0, unchanged
- Psychological 5.0, unchanged
- The average of the 3 highest (creepy, jumpscares, suspense): (6.0 + 5.0 + 5.0) ÷ 3 = 5.3.
- The average film scores 5.4, and the gap from it counts 2 times, so scores use the whole scale: 5.4 + (5.3 − 5.4) × 2 = 5.2.
