Katie Rife AV Club [I]f you're looking to turn out all the lights, pull a blanket up under your chin, and jump several inches off your couch, there's a new bad-seed thriller to adopt today. Rated: B- May 14, 2020 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Based on the formulaic nature of the characters, the story goes precisely where you think it will. Yet if you're looking for something the brings the chills, this is it. Rated: 2.5/5 May 14, 2020 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It's one of those films that may be overly reliant on jump scares when you tally them all up, but I'd by lying if I didn't admit that a few of them legitimately made me jump. Rated: 2.5/4 May 6, 2020 Full Review Ben Flanagan Vague Visages It makes for good quarantine viewing, but one wishes for a version of the film that does more to eke out the subtext from this well trodden ground. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Alejandro Alemán El Universal The film manages a certain restraint and prefers to... suggest rather than show, generating tension that grows throughout the film. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Lindsay Traves Daily Dead What this film does accomplish is a new take on old scares. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Emilliano Jr S It was so good, well made horror. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars09/14/23 Full Review D C It starts off good, but it drags on….. Rated 3/5 Stars •Rated 3 out of 5 stars06/19/23 Full Review o a PP PIOR FILME DE TERROR JA FEITO Rated 0.5/5 Stars •Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars01/22/23 Full Review Hugo The imaginary friend "Z" delivers some creepy and frightening scenes. And it is convincing enough to makes us believe it is really there. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars12/19/22 Full Review Audience Member It's no Babadook or even 'Toby' from Paranormal Activity but it plays alot like The Babadook, perhaps a little bit too much. For me, I couldn't stop seeing the similarities so focus just wasn't possible. Rated 2/5 Stars •Rated 2 out of 5 stars02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Z is comfort food horror. It's a not overly scary haunted house / imaginary friend tale that has one mid-story twist and is otherwise as paint by numbers as you can imagine. It's pretty engaging though despite how unoriginal it is. I won't remember much about Z even in as short as a couple months from now, but it's an enjoyable 80 minutes.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, a film has a rating of 100% if each professional review recorded by the website is assessed as positive rather than negative.
This has been happening for years. The PR firm, named Bunker 15, is said to pay as much as $50.00 for a single Rotten Tomatoes review. The payments, which aren't typically disclosed, are usually given to obscure critics who happen to be part of a pool tracked by Rotten Tomatoes.
“As the reviews of a given film accumulate, the Rotten Tomatoes score measures the percentage that are more positive than negative, and assigns an overall fresh or rotten rating to the movie. Scores of over 60 percent are considered fresh, and scores of 59 percent and under are rotten.
1. ''U.S. No. 1'' consists of tomatoes which meet the following requirements: (a) Basic requirements: (1) Similar varietal characteristics; Page 3 2 (2) Mature; (3) Not overripe or soft; (4) Clean; (5) Well developed; (6) Fairly well formed; and, (7) Fairly smooth.
What is the best producing determinate tomato? Grape and cherry determinate varieties always produce an abundance of fruit. Multi-use tomatoes for fresh eating or canning include Roma, Rutgers, Marglobe, and Oregon Spring. All are easy to grow with disease resistance and dependable yields.
A number of these films also appear on the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies lists, but there are many others and several entries with dozens of positive reviews, which are considered surprising to some experts. To date, Paddington 2 holds the site's record, with an approval rating of 100% and 214 positive reviews.
So when a movie such as “Black Panther” gets a certified “fresh” 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, we interpret it as a film that is near perfection, while a film such as last year's “The Emoji Movie” that lands around 9 percent, must be a steaming pile of garbage.
In the case of Rotten Tomatoes, those exceptions are (for me): films where both the critical AND audience scores are either over 90% or under 20%. In these cases, a preponderance of evidence points toward the quality (or lack thereof) of the film in question.
Since January 2010, Rotten Tomatoes has been owned by Flixster, which was in turn acquired by Warner Bros. in 2011. In February 2016, Rotten Tomatoes and its parent site Flixster were sold to Comcast's Fandango ticketing company. Warner Bros. retained a minority stake in the merged entities, including Fandango.
Rotten Tomatoes and the Tomatometer score are the world's most trusted recommendation resources for quality entertainment. As the leading online aggregator of movie and TV show reviews from critics, we provide fans with a comprehensive guide to what's Fresh – and what's Rotten – in theaters and at home.
In a statement, Rotten Tomatoes wrote, “We take the integrity of our scores seriously and do not tolerate any attempts to manipulate them. We have a dedicated team who monitors our platforms regularly and thoroughly investigates and resolves any suspicious activity.” And yet manipulation still happens.
The “Tomatometer Rankings” connects to the practice of viewers throwing rotten tomatoes when disapproving of a poor stage performance; the higher the percentage a movie receives, the more “fresh” it is and, at least theoretically, better in the show business world.
Inside, a coterie of cinema's practically-finest, movies promising an experience beyond most others – movies that are almost perfect. These are the ones to warm hearts, stir the soul, call forth eruptions of laughter, and rattle your bones.
As per the latest market rates, the average Tomato price is ₹2132.62/Quintal. The lowest market price is ₹200/Quintal. The costliest market price is ₹33080/Quintal.
