Summary

The Children is a 1980 horror and science-fiction film.

3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 75 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 72 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 73 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
