Talk:Creep (2014 film)

Exploiting "Tomatometer"
No sense in beating around the bush. This movie is awful. With my tin foil hat and everything, I think rottentomatoes and online content providers (iTunes in particular) are being manipulated to show this film in a better light than it otherwise deserves. For sales. Creep has a mere twelve critic reviews in RT as of 7/3/2015. A similar horror indie, What We Do in the Shadows, has 120 critic reviews, ten times as many. Is there a point where RT's tomatometer should be discarded? And I mean, pure statistics. Twelve reviews shouldn't be a beacon for a successful movie. In fact, almost the opposite is true. So few reviews with near universal praise indicate manipulation of the audience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.217.8.207 (talk) 03:18, 3 July 2015 (UTC)


 * A small sample size decreases the significance of the figures. This is why we generally include the number of reviews used to create the scores from Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, and this article previously failed to do that. The scores are not as important as the reviews, which is why it is important to include details from actual reviews, it all makes a lot more sense when you see a review that explains the film might appeal to mainstream viewers but not so much to existing horror fans. -- 109.77.223.237 (talk) 10:32, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
