Repulsion
------------

[neverending]

I'll go for Repulsion as well...

[Despare]

Night of the Living Dead

[The_Return]

I'm very, very behind on my Polanski - the only one I've seen here is NotLD. I really should remedy this fact shortly, but for the time being my vote has to go to Romero's masterpiece.

[bwind22]

I like a few of his movies, Repulsion is one of them. He's one of the more overrated directors in my opinion.

6-3-0, Night of the Living Dead shrugs off a slightly strong initial challenge from Repulsion to score the win!

[Despare]

Wow, three GREAT flicks...

I loved The Haunting but I wouldn't peg it as a film that stands out as revolutionary against the other two. I'd have to go with Night of the Living Dead. For all of Psycho's beautiful direction and complex story Night of the Living Dead proved that not only was the little film make still an important piece of the industry but they could change the face of a genre.

[roshiq]

The greatness & appeal of this 3 films as a horror movie still can spellbound any man who has a very little or zero idea about the genre and never ever seen a horror film before. If he watches this films consecutively & then anyone ask him to guess which one he think not only as the distinctive masterpiece of the genre but also a revolutionary cinematic achievement, I like to believe after a moment he'll pick Psycho. This is just my personal opinion, as you may have know that if I can ever sincerely complete a list of my favorite horror films of all time Psycho & The Haunting will be respectively secure the no. 1 & 2 spot.

[missmacabre]

Such a tough one. NotLD by a hair.

Thanks to all the voters who cast their votes in. Special thanks to Neverending for being an inspiration for this Halloween 2009 "resurrection" bash. Heartfelt thanks to those voters who came in and bailed the tourney out, especially when it was going through lack of votes periods. It was a pretty long tourney, but now that its successfully over, the whole trip was worth it.

Thanks guys. This one's for all of you! Ciao!

[neverending]

Great job, V.

[novakru]

Even though I only voted once for NOTD...I think the best movie won here if I was to be honest.

[fortunato]

Woo hoo, and well-deserved.

It goes without saying by now, I guess, but great job V.
