Summary
A Vatican-sanctioned team of vampire hunters, led by the hardened Jack Crow, scours the American Southwest exterminating nests of the undead. After a massacre leaves Crow's crew decimated, he must track down an ancient master vampire who is hunting for a long-lost relic that would grant him the power to walk in daylight.
Vampires is a 1998 action, horror and thriller film.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 300 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 306 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Vampires 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 300.
