THE FILMS YOU WATCH
Personal DreadQ Score
Your 0–100 score is the average of existing DreadQ intensity scores for eligible movies marked Watched. It can rise or fall as you watch films of different intensities.
With fewer than 5 eligible watched movies, your score is still building. The current scoring system displays “Building” until you reach that threshold.
