Paid Members chokeout Posted April 15, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Wicker man not in the top 50 Martin is higher than I thought it would be, as is Phantasm (which I have never really rated that highly) Cronos (Its a good but flawed film) doesnt belong in there either but its a good mix and you can argue for and against the Exorcist as no1 forever but I can see why people vote for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarTheSlouch Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Im surprised God Told Me To is included cause its only redeeming feature is that is has Andy Kaufman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 LISTS~! are dangerous, dangerous things. It's gotten to the point where I now hate debating and discussing them. One thing I will say is that Hellraiser is insanely low and I've really never gotten the fascination for The Exorcist. Â Cue Sickboy complaining about The Descent in 5, 4, 3...

It's excellent.  Yeah, lists are dangerous but they get some good comparative discussions going and there's always at least one pillock who takes them too seriously and has a breakdown over them.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted April 15, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 S'alright list that, might have to catch a few I don't know. If I was being a list-perv I might have put Jaws a bit higher. It's a different type of horror film though. Lots of different sub-genres mixing. Psycho gets a good showing though so that's sweet enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Shining is ridiculously overrated as a movie and shouldnt be anywhere near the top of that list and certainly not ahead of chainsaw and psycho in terms of horrors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think it's excellent but I recall him moaning about it in chat once or twice before. Not to harp on about his taste, but I'm pretty sure he thinks the remake of Texas Chain Saw Masscare is superior to the original, which to me, is grounds for having your eyes removed.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 15, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Shining is ridiculously overrated as a movie  Wrong. It's a masterpiece. Especially the full length version.  I think it's excellent but I recall him moaning about it in chat once or twice before.

The Descent is fantastic. The fact that it has the bottle to spend almost half its length building up the characters and tension before anything horrific happens is my favourite part about it, and its major twist is brilliantly done.

d-d-d-dAz Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Descent is excellent. In the cinema. Â It doesn't translate to DVD quite so well, the big screen really lent itself it to the claustrophobic atmosphere the film wanted to create. Â Evil Dead 2 is a smart choice, though probably deserves to be higher. As for Phantasm, it's a bit pastiche but i've always loved it. Â This list misses Braindead, though. I adore that film.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 15, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ils/Them is definitely deserving of a place, too. Absolutely terrific film and not just for Olivia Bonamy's nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
