The Cagematch Bracket & Rules
- Bracket: To create the brackets, we pulled a total of 22 horror films from the NEON filmography which were placed into "seeds" based on their IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes ratings. After ranking all of the films, we used a bracket creator, like people do for fantasy football or March madness, which generated our full NEON Cagematch bracket. Check out the full bracket here.
- Rules: For scoring and advancing, each host will rate the movie from 1 to 10 on the following metrics: acting, storytelling, scares, and cinematography. We can't give zeroes so the lowest possible overall score will be 12 and the highest possible overall score will be 120. In the event of a tie - the film with the highest Rotten Tomatoes score will advance. Each host will also have one wild card which will allow the host to rescore any film that has advanced to another round.
