Why such bad IMDB rating

I've had this on my watch list for a while but with IMDB only giving it 4 I was reluctant to watch it. I saw on here that it has much better reviews and thought I would give it a go.
A doctor tries helping a family who are all experiencing some kind of sleep walking and becoming dangerous. I liked the idea of that story. So this afternoon I have sat down and watched it. I do not understand why it got such low ratings on IMDB. I thoroughly enjoyed it, from the beginning of the film there was a lot going on, you begin to connect with the family and feel uneasy about what might happen. The acting in my opinion is really good, Maggie Q has a good role to play. I liked the story behind the film and I thought it all added up nicely. I think it was a strong film that has been really underrated.

This movie is classic and for a good reason. Everything about it is superb from the acting to the camera work and everything in between.

Of course the standout performances of Jodie Foster and Sir Anthony Hopkins are amazing but these two aren't the only two who deserve recognition.

Dr. Chilton's character is also portrayed extremely well. Even though he isn't the villain, the performance makes you just... Dislike him and you don't know why. Maybe it's because he tries to charm young girls... Maybe because he likes himself a bit to much... Whatever the reason is, at some points (for me personally anyway) he becomes even less likeable than Hannibal Lecter himself.

The only one issue I have with this movie is its lack of a certain Doctor after about 2/3 of the movie but they can't help that. Without that absence in this movie, Hannibal (2001) would've never have been possible and man, I wouldn't want to miss that.
