Summary

The Castle of Sand is a 1974 crime, drama and mystery film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 2,405 1970s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 4 of whom clear the calibration test. Only 16 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 16 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
