The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

An evil spirit resurrects the corpse of a dead music teacher, who now must strangle and absorb people's energy in order to stay alive. When he moves to the suburbs of Baltimore and resumes giving music lessons, he begins to cause suspicion amongst his neighbors.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
