I gotta highly disagree on the authority of RottenTomatoes: 1) they've got two "ratings" equating to "wonderful" or "awful," which I do not think accurately catches the "true rating" of every film (what of movies that are well-made but entirely forgettable? What of 'turn off your brain' type movies?) 2) I believe the basis of whether a review calls a film "wonderful" or "awful" is dependent not on the reviewers themselves, but on the RT staff 3) the selection of reviews they use is quite random, at least where older and more obscure films are concerned
IMDb I think is better, but still not entirely accurate, especially not where genre cinema is concerned. Look at the top 100 horror films on IMDb; Nosferatu? King Kong? Shaun of the Dead? Those are good films, but hardly the best horror films in terms of being "horrific"

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
