The New Millenium of Horror Tournament

[bwind22]

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...


Round 1 - Match 1

Dog Soldiers

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

[The_Return]

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.

[bwind22]

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

Wolf Creek

[Haunted]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Bwind. I appreciate you as a very powerful interesting and massively intelligent member, but I just had to post the fact that my brain is severely injured by the fact that there is now a new millenium of tournaments.

Oh, and Ring2. I know it was shit, but for some reason, I really liked it.

*Spoiler* (Like anyone hasn't seen it)

I thought Aiden possessed by Samara was kinda neat. There were more twisty faces, which is always good. The psychiatrist injecting herself with air right into the juglar was cool. Rachel throwing the lid on the well, was nice. "I'm not your fucking mother," makes for a good quote, and one I can use for the annoying brats at the grocery store.

The only thing...Daveigh Chase should have played Samara again, but I guess she got too old.

[The_Return]

Ring 2 was pure garbage and I havent bothered to see Dominion...but I really enjoyed Wolf Creek. Jaratt gave a great performance as what will undoubtably become the next big horror icon.

[Yellow Jacket]

Well, this is great. I hated both The Ring Two and Wolf Creek, and I doubt I'll see Dominion since I hated Exorcist: The Beginning. So, I have to choose between which one sucked less. Well, I guess my vote goes to...

Wolf Creek

[Haunted]

Dominion was pretty good for the sake of argument, but my mom and I are sorta kinda Ring fans. We saw them together so we sorta have a thing.

Smat move avoiding any reference to the whole deer sequence...God that was terrible. I actually re-winded [re-wound?] that scene and watched it twice just because it was so damn hilarious.

Of course...I had to see both to make sure that I wasn't 'missing out' on anything....I wasn't...

Ring2, by default...Because I STILL haven't seen Wolf Creek, and Dominion is the same as another 'not too bad, but not so great' movie

Think of it as an experiment in to the sociologoly of the horror fan. Plus.... Aren't you curious to see if the horror scene is really drying up or not?

ANd just FYI, these matches were all chosen randomly so some will be lopsided, some will suck because there are 3 good movies and some will suck because they dont have any that great, but this is what happens when you do a random draw. The cream will still rise to the top.

And I'm glad to hear people are liking this tournament. I thought it'd be a cool one for us... Plus, I dont think the final winner is as obvious as some of the other tourneys we've had over the years.... It's less predictable and that element of surprise can be fun too.

Shyamalan's gone downhill...from the gripping "The Sixth Sense" to the brilliant "Unbreakable" to the not-so-original-but-ok-watchable "Signs" to the pathetic "The Village"...and I expected a lot from that man...

Originally posted by bloodrayne
The Village...



All of you guys said it sucked...BUT, you're usually pretty unforgiving when it comes to judging newer horror movies, so I tend to take your criticisms with a grain (or a ton) of salt...

HOWEVER...

This was the WORST piece of shit I have ever seen (and I've seen Full Moon Video's Killjoy)

This was NOT a 'Horror' movie...Only one person was very quietly stabbed a couple times, and he lived...Only one person died, and that was an accident...


I kept waiting and waiting for something, ANYTHING to happen...and then it was over...

Unbelievable...

The franchise is a waste. The only decent watchable one was part 3, the rest made later were real crap. (why they even bothered to make so many sequels is beyond me) :mad:

I watched them all in order (I have the boxset.) and after watching Leprechaun in tha Hood, I was hesitant to even bother with Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood, but it turned out to be considerably better than Leprechaun in the Hood (Or parts 1,2 & 4 for that matter.)

Anyways, yeah. It's a pretty crappy franchise. Hopefully, it's been laid to rest, but something tells me to doubt it.

I haven't bothered while I'm at work (Which is usually when I'm online) because we don't have speakers on the computer here, but I have been meaning to check it out from my home computer and I just keep forgetting. I'll reply to your thread or IM you though once I check it out.

[GorePhobia]

Alright bud thanks.

Identity without a doubt.

Cursed was not upto expectations...

Identity was a good enjoyable flick...

but Argento's Sleepless is easily the best out of the 3. Aptly named too.

It's not like I've been dwelling on it all this time. I just remembered about it when I was posting this match and thought I'd throw in a little 'inside' reference for those that would get it.

The Descent, hands down, no contest.

One of the best creature movies I have seen in a longass time, IMO.

Descent.

I can't believe Sleepless lost. Is it just that no one has seen it?! Identity is a good flick, but Sleepless was a return to old Argento form.

BTW, since I've been around here long enough to know that there's going to be at least one of you pretentious fucks to say 'get over it', here's a completely non-discriminatory preemptive FUCK YOU to the first three who think it. Everyone after that gets the consolation prize of a cold cup of Instant Folgers and a fist sized chunk of fruit cake.

Most likely, you nailed it. Not as many people have seen Sleepless. I actually thought Identity was pretty predictable and generic. I didn't like it. I haven't seen Sleepless though, but after reading the good comments about it in this thread, I'll make sure to check it out. (For all you tourney haters out there... See? These things not only pass time while I'm bored in the middle of the night, but they can provide some useful information as well. There's already a couple movies I'll be checking out based on what I've read in this thread.

My thoughts exactly, Flayed. Although I think the majority who voted for Identity havent seen Sleepless. If they had, the result would have been otherwise. Its another gem from the modern horror master, Argento.

The Ring.

[Thomasgeorge]

[Miss Olivia]

The Ring

[_____V_____]

Doom was a disappointment, except for the Rock...

See No Evil is a good flick with fascinating kills...

but my vote is for the Ring. A really great adaptation of the japanese original.

[kpropain]

The Ring

[Tat2]

I have played DOOM since it first came out, and I am sad to say that the movie, whiller eagerly waited on...sucked.!

Therefore, I gota go with the ring

[AUSTIN316426808]

See No Evil

The Ring is obviously the better film but not more entertaining.

[scouse mac]

The Ring

[The_Return]

I didnt particularly care for The Ring. It was OK, but seemed pretty typical to me. It was 1000% better than the sequel though.

Ive yet to see See No Evil, but Id like to.

As for Doom, I thought it was alot of. I really enjoyed it.

Doom has my vote.

The Ring wins with 7, ahead of See No Evil with 2 and Doom with 1.

First to 5 votes wins.

[The Flayed One]

For fucks sake, man! If Session 9 doesn't win this, I'll be damned.

[bwind22]

I wasn't as crazy about it as some people, but it has some really weak competition (especially AvsP) so I'm inclined to agree with ya.




Session 9 leads 9-0-0.


Need more votes....

[Posher778]

you mean 1-0-0- right? lol.

I haven't seen S9, so I say AVP, because I actually thought it was a fun flick.

[The_Return]

Even if I had bothered to see the other 2, Session 9 would have my vote hands down. Not only is it one of the best of the new millenium, it's one of my favourites of all time. Great atmosphere, good actors, amazing setting...I love it.

Session 9

[Yellow Jacket]

Sadly, I haven't seen Session 9 yet, and I thought that Open Water was an overrated piece of shit that sunk to the bottom of the ocean! So, my vote has to go to the slightly entertaining, but very weak AVP.

[The_Return]

This is depressing...

Sorry guys, I have to go with YJ and Posh here...I havent seen Session 9 yet either...but now the movie makes it into my must-see list..

As for the other two, Open Water was a plain suckass movie.

So I have to go for AvP...cuz I loved it. Besides I m a big fan of both franchises.

[bwind22]

Uhhhh......

Session 9 is tied with AvsP with 3. Open Water is in last with 0.


Need more votes...







(I absolutely hated AvsP. I thought it was the most boring piece of shit to come along in years. It was actually so bad that I rented it, watched it, forgot about it. Rented it again 3 weeks later completely forgetting I had even seen it already & then when it started it all came back to me like a bad dream.)

I liked AvP and I think Session 9 does get slightly overated but it is better than the other 2 so my votes for Session 9.

Session 9 wins with 6 votes! Alien vs. Predator comes in 2nd with 4 votes and Open Water take sup the rear with a big goose-egg.

(I never saw They, but I'm inclined to agree that this is a pretty weak match up. Aside from one very cool mass kill scene, Ghost Ship sucked. And Shriek if you... Well, I've had biology lectures that were funnier than that.)

Ghost Ship leads 1-0-0.

If you havent seen it, then dont bother about They. Craven is only in name in that flick to get more people to watch it. The story in one line - its a poor copy (read adaptation) based loosely on SK's It.

Ghost Ship is no better either. But for the flick's first 15 minutes, it gets my vote.

All crap, but Ghost Ship just for the few minutes which were entertaining.

Resident Evil & Ed Gein are tied up with 1, Cut trailing with 0.

Ed Gein

[Tat2]

I like Ed Gein (ah...the movie, not him personally) but I still gotta go with:

Resident Evil

[_____V_____]

Cut sucked so bad people left with puckered heads from the theaters...

Ed Gein was an interesting flick, but it missed many points of the killer's life.

Resident Evil, well, it was the first good game-to-video adaptation plus we got to see Milla's "assets" more than once. :D

So RE gets my vote, for being the more complete entertainer in comparison to Ed Gein.

[Dante'sInferno]

Resident BEAVER....er.....excuse me....Evil.
