The 2000s Horror Tournament
THIS TOURNAMENT IS DEDICATED TO HDC The decade is almost over. Back when this decade started and we had a lot of sucky stuff coming out in our genre, most of us were of the opinion that horror, as a genre, was going down. Except for a few gems here and there, until 2006, horror had hit an all-time low among all the genres. It was then that we had the first version of this tourney, created by bwind22, which saw Shaun of the Dead win the crown. But then...came 2007. And the revolution in modern-day post-Y2K horror started. What a year that was! Pan's Labyrinth, Grindhouse, 28 Weeks Later, 30 Days of Night, Diary of the Dead, The Orphanage, RZ's Halloween, The Mist, etc., were such heavy-hitters which achieved a lot of critical (and commercial) successes and satiated the thirst of all horror fans. Where 2007 brought the revolution, 2008 took it one step further. [rec], Inside, Let The Right One In, Repo, all of them did well both commercially and critically. Filmmakers brought forward new and fresh ideas, and our genre is enjoying a refreshing change from the staleness that the first half of this decade had brought. This tournament is a bit different. We have 486 films in the fray, out of which 81 heavy-hitters have already booked themselves a place in the next Round. The rest of the 405 qualifiers will duke it out among themselves for spots against them, and we will have the best of the best fighting against each other for the crown. Can Shaun still maintain its crown? I very much doubt so, but we shall see. You, as a voter, have to choose 2 films (out of the 5) in the Qualifying Rounds. Also, the FIRST VOTER has to pick a number between 01-81 and post it, alongwith his/her choice of films. That will decide the heavyhitter against whom the films will be pitted against, in the next Round. In case the first voter forgets to post the number, the second voter may do so. I will be signing off the tournaments with this. This will be my last tournament. We will start in a few.
