Mad God
Two parallel scores from 164 z-qualifying reviewers and 166 raw-average reviewers. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Z-normalized corrects for reviewer bias (every reviewer re-centered onto their personal scale). Raw average uses simple mean across the broader pool including stddev=0 reviewers. The 18-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — discriminating reviewers liked it more than the casual crowd.

Summary
A stop-motion descent into a decaying, post-apocalyptic underworld follows the Assassin, a gas-masked figure who lowers himself through layers of ruined civilization carrying a map and a satchel of explosives. As he navigates grotesque landscapes populated by tormented creatures, war machines, and shambling laborers, his mission unravels into something stranger and more cyclical than a simple act of sabotage.
