Scored from 272 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
A young woman who was adopted as a baby travels with a documentary filmmaker to a remote Amish community in search of her birth mother. As she connects with the relatives she never knew, she begins to suspect the isolated settlement is hiding a sinister secret tied to her family's past.
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021) is a film IMDb files under the horror, mystery and thriller genres.
7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. 272 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 279 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 86 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 272.
