From my research into horror reviews and star ratings, it is clear that many reviews rely on a shared genre-specific vocabulary. Reviewers frequently use terms such as “terror,” “scary,” and “insane,” and sometimes incorporate swear words to emphasise how frightening a film is. They also employ expressions like “can’t sleep for weeks” or describe emotional responses associated with horror, for example “disturbing,” “messed up,” or “jumping out of your seat.”

By analysing this body of horror movie reviews, the study identifies common themes, sentiment trends, and key factors that influence star ratings, including fear intensity, originality, and storytelling. Overall, the research highlights both the complexity of horror film reception and the inherently subjective nature of rating systems.
