Every once in a while, the professional critics really hype a film - but the audience doesn't agree. Can you think of films with an IMDb and Rottentomatoes (audience) score under 7/10 but a critics' score over 7/10? One such example would be The Witch |

Another one from last year I recall was NOCTURNAL ANIMALS. That was supposed to be Amy Adams' Oscar clinch. What happened?

Actually, at 7.5/10 (IMDb users) and 7.4/10 (RT audience score) but "only" a 7/10 from critics, Nocturnal Anmials seems to get more love from audiences than from professional critics: www.rottentomatoes.com/m/nocturnal_animals |

The Witch was great. A completely refreshing horror film. No jump scares. No obvious oppressive score. Completely free of teen/slasher/monster cliches. A horror film shot and acted like a Kubrick film. This was a case of the critics knowing more than audience and recognizing someone willing to try something different. Whereas the audience has been conditioned to react to only one kind of horror film: When you say horror film most teens think "Cabin in the Woods" not Ingmar Bergman.

EDIT: Not sure if she was nominated for Arrival which ruins this theory.

Although it doesn't quite fit the parameters, Moonlight has a pretty large gap.

Most of the Oscar nominees last year. Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, they were all mediocre.
I only liked Fences out of all of them (which admittedly, was great).
Silence was the best movie of 2016 imo, and it wasn't nominated for anything besides Best Cinematography.

This is pretty common with recent horror films. Besides The VVitch, there's also The Guest and It Follows. The Babadook just barely misses the criteria (RT audience score is 72%).

Enjoyed "Cabin in the Woods" for what it was, but "The Witch" was an unexpectedly great watching experience. I got it from the RedBox thinking it was going to be run-of-the-mill, but it really surprised me. Can't think of a horror fan who shouldn't at least give "The Witch" a shot. |
