I saw a Reddit post arguing you should add 2 points to any IMDB score for a horror movie to get the movie's real rating & I have yet to find an example where this doesn't work. Case in point: It Follows, 6.8 (8.8), The Witch, 7 (9), Shadow of the Vampire, 6.9 (8.9), The Thing, 8.2 (10.2). See?

Lately I’ve been doing a lot more prevision. I spend days agonizing over the details of plot and character relationships before I write a single word
