Summary
A young woman trapped in a marriage to a controlling, abusive husband fakes her own death in a boating accident to escape him. She starts a new life under a new identity in a small Iowa town, where she begins a tentative romance with a kind neighbor. But her husband grows suspicious that she may still be alive and sets out to find her.
Sleeping with the Enemy is a 1991 drama and thriller film.
4,081 other films from the 1990s form the cohort it is ranked inside. 150 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 150 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1,425 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 Sleeping with the Enemy 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 · 1990s (4,082 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 150.
