I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

I like a lot of the campy horror movies that typically have 5 or below on IMDb. One of my favorites is Sorry About the Demon (2022) on Shudder/AMC+, which currently has a 4.9 rating.

I find it hard to use IMDb ratings as a metric for picking a good horror movie. The scores sometimes seem like they're just all over the place, when looking at the horror genre. I just watch a trailer, maybe read about it a little, and check it out myself. I would've missed a ton of good horror flicks if I had gone with ratings alone

True. I'm a little more lax on trusting them for horror in general, but for some reason the Shudder/AMC originals are especially harsh.
