Snub rates a film only against its own sub-genre — a heist movie against heist movies, a slasher against slashers — so a great B-picture is never buried under prestige dramas. Only the top 2% of any sub-genre earn The Ten and the gilt seal. Punch your own score on every stub, and get SNUBBED when you and Snub disagree. The concierge learns what you punch and knows your taste before you ask.
