Yes if I'd seen the movie before, no if this was my first viewing.
For percentages, I'm counting movies, not bodies. For instance, in Altered, aliens kill a handful of people, while in The Mist they kill hundreds or thousands and in The Screwfly Solution they kill pretty much everyone.
Also, when a movie features more than one agent of demise, I'm going with the major one. For instance, cultists kill a couple of people in The Mist, but the movie counts for the aliens anyway.
Violent: Blood and gore, murder, bones sticking out, shooting, stabbing. Example: Pick Me Up.
Sick: Disease. Barfing, fevers, rashes, not supernatural or grotesque. Example: Carriers.
Sadistic: Violence plus glee, drawn out and deliberate. Example: Borderland.
Jeezy: Christianity. Example: Left in Darkness.
Haunting: Subtle, not over-the-top, inhumanity. Example: Spectre.
Grotesque: Monsters, aliens, mutants, bug parasites, rat zombies, werewolves. Example: Mulberry Street.
Everyday: Working in an office, going on a date, doing normal things in normal circumstances. Example: Netherbeast Incorporated.
