how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 39 comments (27 from Metacritic, 8 from Reddit, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 10 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews β the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
βThe filmβs indisputable centerpiece is the protracted werewolf transformation sequence.β
Budd Wilkins, Slant Magazine Β· 100
βThis movie presented a radical melange of genuine horror and self-aware comic touches, not to mention the fabulous Rick Baker special effects.β
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle Β· 89
βA clever mixture of comedy and horror which succeeds in being both funny and scary, An American Werewolf in London possesses an overriding eagerness to please that prevents it from becoming off-putting, and special effects freaks get more than their money's worth.β

βCarnivorous lunar activities rarely come any more entertaining than this.β
Kim Newman, Empire Β· 80
βAlthough AWIL's comedy/horror elements aren't always cosy bedfellows, the film retains its original, quirky charm. Great effects for the day, too.β

βIt's one of the greatest dark comedies of all time. It's not a straight forward horror movie.β

βI've found a lot of younger people seem to struggle with new ideas or even tangents in writing, and perhaps the idea that a film isn't quite what it's advertised to be. That said, it's one of my favourite films but given the differences between effects etc, I can see why people wouldn't like it.β
