Obviously, not everybody is going to like the same things you do. It\u2019s human nature to have different opinions, but when it comes to classic horror films you would think the amount of 1-star reviews on Letterboxd<\/a><\/strong> would be minimal. They\u2019re classics! But that\u2019s not the case, some of the movies listed below have bad reviews in the thousands. <\/p>\n We can say, that a lot of the bad reviews aren\u2019t really reviews at all. Things like \u201cI hated it\u201d or \u201cIt was too gross\u201d aren\u2019t really based on the merit of the filmmaker, actors, or special effects. That being said, I think calling a movie \u201cboring\u201d is a valid personal review. But we appreciate the people actually took the time to explain why they gave the movie only one star. <\/p>\n We even ran into some reviews like The Exorcist<\/strong> where the reviewer gave it a bad rating because it was so disturbing; the actual point of the film. They hated the movie for doing what it was intended to do. Wouldn\u2019t that make it five stars? <\/p>\n At any rate, we picked some of your favorites that are universally loved, but to some, they fell short of the mark for whatever reason. Additionally, this isn\u2019t a case of review bombing since these films have already had their theatrical run, in some cases, decades ago. <\/p>\n When you\u2019re done reading, let us know if there is a beloved classic title that you didn\u2019t like but everyone else loves. <\/p>\nThe Shining (1982)<\/h2>\n
