What exactly propels a flick into the "overrated" radar actually?

I mean, High Tension has a really cock-eyed and ridiculous climax (or anti-climax, whichever you prefer), but still people rate it pretty highly as a "more than decent" horror flick of recent times.

Do you take the overall movie into this purview, or just aspects of it - like
A) a very sore anti-climactic ending,
B) story and plotline,
C) cheese factor,
D) repeat viewing value...?

Is there a line which you have drawn somewhere for your decision?

(Still cannot see how some of you didnt dig Jaws at all...)
