The Modern 90s Horror Tournament

[hammerfan]

Seven

Mary Shelley must have been rolling in her grave over Branagh's Frankenstein.

[urgeok2]

unlike everyone else here - i'm not a big fan of se7en.
i dont consider it to be a horror either.


but i'll pick it over the other one.

[Kane_Hodder]

Seven.
I think the method of killings and the climax make it worthy of being a slasher.

[The Mad Monk]

It obviously won't win, but I'll go for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein anyway. DeNiro's performance was very good.

Anyways, in this good match I like to go with Tremors.

[Roderick Usher]

Tremors...

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

tremors


exorcist III put me to sleep.

[urgeok2]

tough as hell.

tremors is great fun...


but i'm going to have to go with Exorcist III - it delivered a couple of the biggest shocks i've ever seen in a horror flick.

[Disease]

Tremors....

[hammerfan]

Tremors...

[ferretchucker]

Gotta love tremors. And it's sequels! Although I haven't seen the forth one

One of those rare scenes, which are sorely lacking these days, that actually sends shivers down the spine.
Of course BIG screen and surround sound are required for ultimate effect.:D

also one of the rare movies where the director had the balls to build a scene up this way too.

most people probably squirmed in their chairs waiting for a car chase.

Like murderdoll :p)

[Elvis_Christ]

For sure, the original kicked my ass on the big screen when it was re-released a few years back. The sound effects were really creepy made me appreciate the flick a lot more.

[Papillon Noir]

Tremors.....

[_____V_____]

And Tremors tames some fighting resistance from Exorcist III before securing a slightly tough 9-4 win!!

This completes Round 2, which had some REAL shocking upsets, such as Army of Darkness, The Silence of the Lambs, Darkman and Exorcist III...among others.

It's a thriller with horror elements, sure. But I would consider The Frighteners a comedy with horror elements. Like Ghostbusters. I wouldn't put either in a strict horror category, but Cape Fear is scarier.

i know - it's my own internal system - what makes sense to me i guess.
anything with a supernatural element i classify as horror (but i keep horror/fantasy/sci-fi together)


but things like silence of the lambs, se7en, cape fear, etc .. i keep with crime drama/thrillers


don't know why - its just how i naturally sorted things

Dead Alive.
