Summary

Released in 1974, Where the Red Fern Grows is a drama and family film.

Only 29 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 30 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 2,405 1970s films, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 380 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
