Summary
Five college friends head to a remote cabin for a weekend getaway, only to find themselves stalked by a horrifying threat from the woods. Unbeknownst to them, their ordeal is being orchestrated and monitored by a mysterious group of technicians for reasons that tie into a much larger, ancient purpose.
Released in 2011, The Cabin in the Woods is a horror, mystery and thriller film.
The calibrated figure is built from 1,098 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,124 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. 13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 9,905 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 The Cabin in the Woods 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 · 2010s (13,059 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 1,098.
