Summary
In 1952 Romania, a young nun takes her own life at a remote cloistered abbey. The Vatican dispatches Father Burke, a priest with a troubled past, and Sister Irene, a novitiate on the verge of her final vows, to investigate the death. As they probe the abbey's secrets alongside a local guide, they confront a malevolent demonic force taking the shape of a nun named Valak.
Released in 2018, The Nun is a horror, mystery and thriller film.
The calibrated figure is built from 1,321 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,396 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,191 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 Nun 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 1,321.
