The New Millenium of Horror Tournament
 

Well now that we've decided and crowned George Romero as the Best Horror Director, it is time for the next great tournament courtesy of bwind22.

It's been said on numerous occasions that there aren't any good horror films coming out these days. Is that true? Well, we're going to put it to the test. By the end of the tournament, I think we should all end up with a pretty good idea of whether or not that's true because let's face it, if House of the Dead ends up winning, our genre's fucked. But maybe there's hope... There's only one way to know for sure....

This tournament contains all horror movies (as defined on imdb) released from 2000 to right now that have at least 1000 user votes. (I had to pic a couple that didnt have 1000 to fill the tourney, but for the most part that's the criteria.)

Because the tournament is quite large (192 movies) Round 1 matches will all contain 3 films doing battle in an attempt to advance to the final 64. The first film to 5 votes will win but if I am not online to declare the match over then people can keep voting. Same as always...

Cool new tourney...

Dog Soldiers

Dog Soldiers

dog soldiers good idea

Dog Soldiers

Dog Soldiers is off to a quick 4-0-0 lead! Will there be a shutout? (And an early favorite emerging?)



Need more votes....

I really enjoyed Riding the Bullet, but it cant hold up against Dog Soldiers.

DS has my vote.

Is Dead End in this? It has 2992 votes on IMDB...

If it matches the criteria, then it's in, but like I said there's 192 movies so I'm not gonna list them all off. If you want to know if a specific film is in the tournament then go check out imdb, make sure it's listed as horror and released between 2000-2006 & has more than 1000 votes. If it does, it's in. So yes, Dead End is in, but I really don't want twenty people asking me if a certain movie is in or not. It's a pain. Either wait and see when I post the matches or go look on imdb for yourself. (This is directed at everyone and certainly not just Return. He didn't know any better because in the past it hasn't worked this way.) Thanks.

Dog Soldiers devours Versus & Riding the Bullet by a shutout score of 5-0-0 to advance to the Round of 64!
