How it scares
Each kind of scare is rated out of 10. Hover over a score, or use the info button, to see what it means.
- Gore
5.0 out of 10,Strong
Blood, injuries and body horror shown on screen. Violence that happens off-screen barely counts.

- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
- Creepy
6.0 out of 10,Strong
Unsettling images, atmosphere and things that feel wrong. Not sudden shocks (Jumpscares) or waiting for something to happen (Suspense).

- Comes back often, and some scenes stay with you afterwards
- 1-2Mild

- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
- Jumpscares
3.0 out of 10,Moderate
Sudden shocks designed to make you jump, usually a fast movement or a loud noise. Not slow-building dread (Suspense).

- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense

- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
- Psychological
5.0 out of 10,Strong
Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
Psychological 5.0 is strong (5-6 on the scale):
- Paranoia, madness or a story that makes you question what's real
- A big part of the film, and it stays with you afterwards
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
How the overall score of 6.0 is worked out
A film's three strongest kinds of scare count, with some weighted. Averages bunch up in the middle, so the result is then spread out from the average across every rated film.
- Each kind of scare is weighted: gore loses a point, and creepy and jumpscares gain one.
- Gore 5.0 − 1 = 4.0
- Creepy 6.0 + 1 = 7.0
- Jumpscares 3.0 + 1 = 4.0
- Suspense 5.0, unchanged
- Psychological 5.0, unchanged
- The average of the 3 highest (creepy, suspense, psychological): (7.0 + 5.0 + 5.0) ÷ 3 = 5.7.
- The average film scores 5.4, and the gap from it counts 2 times, so scores use the whole scale: 5.4 + (5.7 − 5.4) × 2 = 6.0.
