10/5: The Exorcist: We spun our heads ’round and ’round adding over 70 reviews for William Friedkin’s 1973 original. Using archival tools and sites, many of the reviews are contemporaneous to when Exorcist first debuted, with the rest from during the late-’90s re-release. (Richard Roeper also filed a review at the Chicago Sun-Times with reference to Exorcist’s 4K restoration.) Overall, The Exorcist‘s new score in 78%, dropping from 84%.
10/1: Hispanic Heritage Month: Along with our feature on 12 trailblazing Latin actors and the breakout roles that made them stars, the celebration continues with Hispanic movies to watch with the whole family and best Spanish-language horror movies.

Why do Tomatometers change over time? Because critics are always doing what they do best: Watching and reviewing. Plus, our team is always researching and highlighting reviews and essays from throughout movie history, often from overlooked or forgotten sources. The Tomatometer scores then becomes a living, breathing number, documenting thought and expression both then and now.
