Or, if I may "yes, and..." if you want to use Rotten Tomatoes, pay more attention to the "average critic rating" (which offers a pretty accurate critical consensus) versus the more binary fresh/rotten score (which merely notes how many of the critics felt it was at least a 6/10).
I'm begging people to stop placing so much emphasis on meaningless Rotten Tomatoes or MetaCritic scores and stop letting them have so much control over the art you like or want to experience.
Watch that movie. Play that game. Random strangers' opinions shouldn't stop you.

With joyfully hateful characters and the stunning Barbara Shelley, Hammer nail the killer cat caper. Tautly directed and strikingly shot. Underrated. 1961.

The most subtle of classics, an ethereal dark romance with a haunting turn from Karloff. An exquisitely understated gem from Karl Freund. 1932.

The sfx still hold up admirably but the greatest special effect is Rains’ truly demented & disturbing performance as Jack Griffin, relying almost totally on that wonderful voice…
