I like a lot of the campy horror movies that typically have 5 or below on IMDb. One of my favorites is Sorry About the Demon (2022) on Shudder/AMC+, which currently has a 4.9 rating.
I find it hard to use IMDb ratings as a metric for picking a good horror movie. The scores sometimes seem like they're just all over the place, when looking at the horror genre. I just watch a trailer, maybe read about it a little, and check it out myself. I would've missed a ton of good horror flicks if I had gone with ratings alone
True. I'm a little more lax on trusting them for horror in general, but for some reason the Shudder/AMC originals are especially harsh.
Didn't see Sorry About the Demon, but "campy horror movies that typically have 5 or below on IMDb" makes my brain scream Dark Angel: The Ascent and Modern Vampires.
