HIGHEST RATED HORROR MOVIES I DIDN'T LIKE 

*_A tip for everyone: "Like what you like."_*

The only one I disagreed with you on Sarah, was Don't Breathe. Loved that one.

I loved The Autopsy of Jane Doe but the ending was so meh. 😫

The Autopsy of Jane Doe is so good to me, and fun fact the Jane Doe was never a dummy. The entire time, it was the actress laying stock still without breathing or moving or blinking. I was really impressed with it.

Here's the problem with Rotten Tomatoes. I don't think most people understand how it works or how to perceive it correctly. Say a movie gets 90% on RT. That just means 90% of critics liked the movie, not that the average score people gave it was a 9/10. Realistically actually, movies with that high of percentages only have averages of scores like 7.5/10. So Rotten Tomatoes is kind of just a summary of people who thought it was above mediocre and people who just thought it was bad, and it's kind of a poor system.

Thank you so much for having me!!! I totally disagreed with all of yours too 😂😂😂

The first half of 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' was very good imo but in the second half it turned into typical ghost/horror movie

"I'm sure I'm going to name some your favourite movies and that's OK. The thing is horror is just about opinion, it's a subjective type of genre and we all like different things..." - Hawkinson, Sarah. 2019. If the horror community had 5% your mentality, rationalization and passion about horror and general movies criticism, we'd live in a much better place, all united by our perfect couple: horror & cinema. And it would be beautiful. Let's share the love about this genre.

This list sounds like it was a lot harder to do. Theres something endearing and relatable abput sticking up for underrated or hate films that you enjoyed but when you try to attack popular films its hard not to come off as "old man yells at cloud."

Emma : "This film was sloppy, had poor character development, bad acting, etc" Sara : "I haven't watched this movie in a while but I just didn't get it"

sleepaway camp deserves that 81%. one of the best slashers of the 80's and hilarious

Drag Me To Hell is a superb film. An absolute rollercoaster ride with some seriously deep layers and secrets. One of my favourite ever experiences in the cinema.

Last Shift probably only has a 100% because only like 3 critics have seen it lol!

I thought Ouija: Origin of Evil was great!! I also love the director (Mike Flanagan). He did The Haunting of Hill House, Oculus, Hush, and some other great horror films! I highly recommend going back to watching it again!

I wanted to throw hands when she started talking about the walking dead. I’ve stuck around for 9 seasons!

I love Sleepaway Camp but I'm really surprised to hear it has a high rating anywhere because it's one of those campy exploitation films... I love how the character dispatches her (his?) victims, from the creepy cook getting scalded to the meanest girl in the camp being violated with a curling iron. I don't usually like anthology horror films but I did like V/H/S. I especially liked the one with the succubus lady killing the brodudes or the one where that killer in the woods can disappear or obfuscate himself from the camera. I always thought the Dementors were a rip-off of the ring wraiths anyway. A lot of Harry Potter concepts seem borrowed to me. I can understand getting tired of the Walking Dead's progression but that seems like a strange criticism, that they keep killing people and that it's more about the characters than the zombies. The comic series is the same way but the show does not follow the comics all that loyally: like for the longest time Rick is with Andrea and Michone with Ezekiel. It would be boring if they didn't kill people we care about. To each her own I guess...

Shout out to the spider crawling round in the back 😂 love these videos though ☺

i really liked Drag Me To Hell and loved the ending. I watched it recently and it held up but its not SO AMAZING that i'd be upset if someone disliked it haha. Also i would love to hear your thoughts on Haunting of Hill House

The Walking Dead was always supposed to be about the survivors and what's going on with them, not the zombies. That's what the comics are.

Love your hair, makeup, outfit, and the video idea ^^ I'm curious to see what's on the list (hopefully not any favourites of mine 😜)

The problem with rotten tomatoes percentage rating is that it doesn’t reflect a score out of 100. It actually just says how many people gave it a generally positive review. So if 100% of people gave it at least an okay kind of rating (like 6/7 out of 10), then it will be considered 100% fresh.

the tiny spider crawling around on the wall in the beginning is my favorite thing

.. I literally completely forgot that I’ve actually seen Apostle until you talked about it. Either my memory is sh*t or that’s just how unmemorable it was.

I loved The Autopsy of Jane Doe. I thought it was so much fun and scary and original. I haven't seen Revenge yet. I think it's great that as horror fans we can love different movies and still be civil to each other :)

These collabs are SO GOOD! You and Emma are my favs so that would be cool to see you both work together again.

Rotten tomatoes percentage is worked out by how many reviews are rotten or fresh. If 30 critics rate a movie 5/10 or above, then it's fresh, and if 20 rate it less than 5/10, then it's rotten. In total that would mean there's 50 ratings, and 30/50 of them are fresh, which when put into a percentage is equal to 60%. Also, the reason why Last Shift got 100% is because it wasn't a popular film, and only 5 critics reviewed it on rotten tomatoes. Those critics only gave it 5/10, but because that is fresh on rotten tomatoes, it makes all five reviews fresh, which is why it gets 100%. The movies that you like, the ones that are more popular and maybe more mainstream, get lower ratings simply because there are more critics, such as rings which had over 107 ratings from critics, so the reviews less than 5/10 outweighed the reviews above 5/10. Hope this isn't too confusing!

Ouija - Origin of Evil is so highly rated because it’s a sequel that actually improved on its predecessor.

For me, its Hereditary. I heard it was amazing, but when I finally got around to watching it and it didn't work for me in the slightest even though I loved Midsommar.

OMG! Drag Me to Hell was great too!! It’s slapstick horror like Evil Dead! (It was directed by Sam Raimi)

i get so happy every time i see a new video on your horror channel!!

Oh wow Emma's really ripping into my favs 😂 I LOVE Southbound and The Walking Dead is my OG... I'll argue this, though - TWD did not belong in this video because movie and TV are such different formats, you can't really compare it in any way, shape or form, especially if you did enjoy some of the seasons of it.

I have always questioned the rating systems... as far as I can remember like back in jr high I have never agreed with what Hollywood or any type of rating system... I was always asking, “who voted? Who said? Who are they asking?” I will never understand... thank goodness for youtube and people all over uploading their opinions. I LOVE horror films and movies in general.. it’s my thing.

First. YOUR AMAZING! Keep it up your videos are probably my favorite and your channel is my favorite horror channel. 🖤🖤🖤

Oujia: Origin of Evil was directed by Mike Flanagan. He’s up there with James Wan as one of the best horror directors right now. He puts a great spin on the story and he employs the really lovecraftian technique or leaving what drives the characters insane up to the imagination. I thought it was incredibly effective. Wondering what they were whispering kept me up that night.

Awesome! Great collabo! Made my day alittle better.

i just found your channel & i really like your videos! i dont know if you have done a review for it or not but i briefly looked through your channel & i didnt see it but haunting of a hill house! i thought it was honestly the best horror film/tv series ive ever seen!

I love your content so much Sarah, and you are stunning 😍

For me The Autopsy of Jane Doe surprised me. I clicked on it expecting something else and it got me :DD

Yesss Emma bringing up master's of horror. 😍 Its gotta be one of my favorite horror anthology situations ever.

yay! i love u and Emma💜💜. also, Revenge should’ve been like 53-67% lol and i really love Last Shift but 100% .....wow.

Oh. I fucking loved Revenge. That’s so interesting you didn’t like it. Didn’t think it was a horror tho.

Ouija: Origin of Evil was freaking awesome....great flick

I think with RT reviews, the 100% score doesn’t mean it’s a perfect movie, it just means that all of the critics that watched it liked it and gave it 3 stars or above. (Don’t quote me on that but I think that’s what it is.) It’s still confusing though

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS VIDEO, I LOVE U AND EMMA, HOW DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS COLLAB!!!!!!!

"Drag me to hell" is one of my favourite horrors of all times, it has a very grotesque and black comedy shift to it and it has that distinct "Sam Raimi" style (a little chlidish and "cartoonish" if you will). It's funny, it's scary and unsettling, it's gorey and gross and the ending, loool, is pure genius. 😂 But I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Anyway I love every movie you mentioned, especially "Goodnight Mommy" (for me the weirder the better) . 😂

It Follows, hands down. My family and I were laughing at how dumb it was the whole time watching it. And when we looked up the rating afterward we were shocked to say the least (in the 90's last time i checked)

This showed up on my suggested vids. But RU-vid finally got it right. This was very entertaining and informative. It makes me want to watch your other videos. I subscribed. We have very similar taste in movies. So I look forward to you putting me up on some sleepers.

Nice to see you and Emma collab :)

From 1:00 on there's a little spider above the left side and I honestly love that

Ouija: Origin of Evil is fantastic. The first movie, was very awful though. I give Flanagan a lot of credit for making a good movie out of that train wreck.

Directors as artists do alot of work and I feel it cuz as an artist its so hard to make others happy in genral cuz everyone’s taste is so much different and sometimes we dont even know ourselves that what we might end up liking about movies in general , but I liked you sharing your opinion💖

Drag Me To Hell was one i watched when i was much younger and thought it was atrocious. Being older now and able to understand what they were going for, I’m now able to appreciate the over-the-top, corniness of it. But definitely doesn’t deserve over a 90%

Revenge is amazing. Not so much as being good or enjoyable, not even a re-watch. But I was blown away by the style, the rhythm, the colors, just felt like I was watching something very fresh and exciting, out of the box, unpredictable.

In reply to your confusion about why people liked revenge: I can totally see what bothered you, these aspects just aren’t something that would keep me from enjoying a horror movie. I personally liked this film a lot for two reasons: a) I was excited for the whole run time of it and b) I’m a sucker for revenge plots in general and especially in the horror genre.

YES it's so nice to hear someone voice what I feel about Don't Breath. Also I dig Evan Acree's comment above about interpreting Rotten Tomatoes. I take Rotten Tomatoes as like a "chance that you will or wont hate this movie"

I literally did a spit take when you said Last Shift has 100%. 100% of what?

I have to disagree on number 4. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is an amazing movie and it deserves the hype.

Thanks for speaking up. I agree with some of your takes. There's some sacred cows in horror that just feel meh to me.

Also my cousin is in southbound! Her name is Hassie and she plays the blonde daughter who gets killed after her parents.

Great video! I totally agree with you about Revenge! I hated that movie and didn't understand how everyone said it was a masterpiece. I would add the movie Raw to the list, as well as Housebound. Those are the ones that comes to mind now, but I'm sure there's other :P

I’m just going to say that i LOVE the walking dead! But i know that it’s not everyone’s thing. I don’t blame people for stopping. But for some reason i just grow more and more attached with every episode. (Spoiler for season7) But i don’t understand why people are still so mad that they killed off Glenn in the show. That is where he died in the comic books and it was an amazing character introduction for Negan. People get so mad at the show, but STEVEN YUEN TOLD THEM HE WANTED GLENN TO DIE THERE. He understood the importance of his death, he knew that that is where Glenn’s story ends. If the actor was so passionate about Glenn going out there then i think people can stop being so upset just because he was a good character. That’s kind of the point 😂

WTF? A 100% on a movie. That's weird tbh. I agree on the Walking Dead. I'm finished the first season. It's okay but not good to watch.

Can you make these videos into a series?! I enjoyed both really.

I know this is an old video but I love your makeup look in this video and it looks really good against your pale skin.. new subscriber and I have been going through all your old videos you have grown very much and I love your recommendations thanks a lot!!!

The babadook for me is soooooo overrated. I've tried many times to rewatch but I cant do it. I dont see the hype

Yeah, I really liked The Autopsy of Jane Doe lol

I so feel you on artistic movies. They're usually so weird + you don't know what's going on and you feel unpleasantly high when you took nothing. LOL. Which could be horrifying in itself but not my type of horror. Morticia

That’s too funny, don’t breathe is one of my faves!! I love seeing different perspectives

I did like drag me to hell as an 'it's cool' one watch, not let me buy this, but like you I can't remember the ending to defend it. LOL. But unlike most people I can have another opinion without getting mad. Morticia

Thank you for calling out Drag Me to Hell! I’m a horror fanatic and I was miserable during that movie in theaters- gross, unfunny, and the ending was ridiculous.

I'm really not a fan of several parts of the Walking Dead but really dug seasons 4 through 6. You pointed out it's impossible to keep zombies interesting and scary for seasons, and that's 100% correct. What I love about the middle section is that's where it first changes focus, and is instead about how to rebuild and structure society of deeply traumatized people in a post-pocalyptic world. The politics and psychology of it all is fascinating to me. I don't think there's any other shows about this concept. Zombies largely aren't important anymore at that point and I remember a scene where Rick and Michonne take out an abandoned carnival full of like 100 zombies by themselves super easily. Seasons 7 and onward switch focus again to being about communities at war which lost me.

When Emma came on I was literally like "Ahhh" in excitement haha 🤣 I like watching both of ur channels so it was awesome to see a collab 😊

I can't seem to get on board with the Hill House netflix show. I've tried twice and I'm bored to tears. I must be missing something because everyone else loves it.

The issue with the Walking Dead is that while the people are evolving, and it's great, the zombies aren't. It's a show that started off as a genuine zombie show, but over time the zombies became a backdrop.

I don't get why everyone always rccomends autopsy of jane. whenever someone asks "whats a good horror movie on Netflix" autopsy of jane doe is always recommended but it was only ok.

Great commentaries from both you and Emma.

anyone have any recommendations for channels similar to sarah's?? i've been looking for some new horror channels to watch!

If you think Goodnight Mommy is a weird horror film you should check out David Lynch's Eraserhead. Personally one of my favorites but definitely not for everyone.

I think if you view the zombies in walking dead less as the threat and more as the setting, it gets a lot better. You're right that the formula can't really work for horror TV because horror really thrives on characters being clueless. But in long form television, you can't keep your characters clueless for 4,5,6 seasons. It's human nature to adapt, and that's why I actually like the evolution of the interaction with zombies. In the first few seasons, the zombies are big threats, the primary enemy even. Moving on, we see the walkers being less threatening and more like a weapon themselves. Controlling herds, using them as wall defenders, covering them in metal so they can't be killed and unleashing them, etc. Now in the show they're in the stage of almost living harmoniously with them. The whisperers are super cool to me and represent the acceptance these people have for the world they live in. From season 5 onwards, the characters are settled so I don't think it repeats the pack up phenomenon so much anymore. The character drama did suffer a little in seasons 7-8, but season 9 was awesome in my opinion. I think it's a super interesting premise now that they're situated and rebuilding and learning to work together after years of savagery... I do agree the Negan arc got old as he just brutalized the main group with little respite, but luckily it picks back up even with main cast members leaving. We've still got a few OGs and lots of recurring characters that we've grown to like.

I can’t wait to see/hear your thoughts in the chucky remake... I don’t even know why they are remaking it... I feel like it’s just too soon to remake it. It’s great the way it is.

Also omg can you give me some skin tips YOURS IS FLAWLESS SLAY

@1:15 I think I saw a spider or big or something behind your (right) shoulder 😬

Totally agree with you on The Walking Dead, I stuck with it as long as I could (which was 4 seasons) but just couldn't get in to it, shame because I really wanted to like it. I did think Don't Breathe was awesome though : ) Subscribed

I had never paid attention to those so called: *MOVIE CRITICS.* As I always said, those are personal opinion from individuals who has different tastes in movies. Its like CHEF that are judges, some may like the food you cook, some may not, doesn't mean your foods are not good just cause a “chef” said so, as long as you customers comeback to your place and enjoy your food, you already succeeded. So screw the critics, is their personal opinion, it could be one guy or a bunch of them, I dont care. Enjoy what you like, that's it.

I flat out didn’t like the Autopsy of Jane Doe. I think I gave it a 5/10

i agreed with all the movies but the sleepaway camp one did throw me off bit

Have you seen The Void ? You mentioned Last Shift. I found that one through The Void actually. Kinda similar in tone but very different themes. If not I would highly recommend it.

So happy to see Emma on your channel! My 2 favourites combined!!! ❤️

I don't think you get how Rotten Tomatoes works..

Thank goodness... I totally agree with you about the “Jane doe” and “don’t breathe” movie...

Every time I hear about Sleepaway Camp, all I hear about is the twist. I thought it was ok, didn't think it was one of the greatest movies ever. Maybe because I watched it ~35 years after it came out. If it wasn't for the twist, I doubt it would be nearly as popular as it is. That said, the twist itself just made me go "... ok." It really had zero impact on the story, and I never understood those "twists." Also nice to see someone else who didn't care for Revenge. I had so many problems when watching it that I couldn't get over.

It would be interesting to see your opinions on the original versions of some of the films like Revenge.

The freaking Blair Witch Project!!! Enough said!

Just watched Revenge yesterday. Loved it lol.

I feel like so many people dislike good horror movies simply because people think it’s good... it’s like they think going against the grain immediately makes you cool or “smart”. For instance, when people say they don’t like the babadook, the only reason I hear is “it’s boring” which is... boring. Not really a good criticism.

Do you use Letterboxd? I would love to see what you watch/how you rate them!

I HATED LAST SHIFT!! I was literally so dissapointed by it

when you said one of them would be controversial i was thinking “that’s silly, it’s just your opinion” and then you said you didn’t like Jane Doe and i actually said “what the f*ck?” out loud

I really disagree about don't Breathe and drag me to hell! The RT score can really depend on who reviews them! A cure for wellness I think is actually rather underrated.

9:19 This is how I use websites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I first search for a movie that I'm interested in and look at the score to get a general idea of how the majority felt about the movie. Then I will click on and skim a good review, a medium review, and a bad review (obviously varies depending on whether there are good reviews/bad reviews etc.). Approaching the movie this way should give me a good idea of whether I would like the film because I read perspectives from someone who loved it, someone who thought it was ok, and someone who hated it. I can also compare and contrast points made within reviews. Sometimes good reviews will acknowledge points made in bad reviews (which gives credence to the criticisms made in the bad reviews) or vice verse. Now, sometimes there are movies that I want to go into blind so I won't read opinions from critics. TL;DR I think Rotten Tomatoes is useless if you ONLY look at the score. You gotta read a couple of reviews to understand perceptions of the film. It's about *why* people liked/disliked a movie. It doesn't matter whether the majority liked it or disliked it in the abstract.
