Summary

Released in 1989, Begotten is a fantasy and horror film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 307 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 98 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 101 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
