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
3.0 out of 10,Moderate
Blood, injuries and body horror shown on screen. Violence that happens off-screen barely counts.
Gore 3.0 is moderate (3-4 on the scale):
- Visible blood and wounds in a few scenes
- The camera cuts away before the worst of it
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
- Creepy
4.0 out of 10,Moderate
Unsettling images, atmosphere and things that feel wrong. Not sudden shocks (Jumpscares) or waiting for something to happen (Suspense).
Creepy 4.0 is moderate (3-4 on the scale):
- An eerie mood with some disturbing characters or images
- Unsettling in places, but it rarely gets under your skin
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 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).

- Spaced out, with long gaps between them
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme

- Tense scenes where the outcome is uncertain
- Broken up by calmer stretches
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
- Psychological
4.0 out of 10,Moderate
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 4.0 is moderate (3-4 on the scale):
- Unsettling themes, moral dilemmas or a character you can't trust
- Makes you think, without leaving you shaken
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
How the overall score of 3.2 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 3.0 − 1 = 2.0
- Creepy 4.0 + 1 = 5.0
- Jumpscares 3.0 + 1 = 4.0
- Suspense 4.0, unchanged
- Psychological 4.0, unchanged
- The average of the 3 highest (creepy, jumpscares, suspense): (5.0 + 4.0 + 4.0) ÷ 3 = 4.3.
- The average film scores 5.4, and the gap from it counts 2 times, so scores use the whole scale: 5.4 + (4.3 − 5.4) × 2 = 3.2.
