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...


Round 1 - Match 1

Dog Soldiers

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!


Next match in a few minutes....

First one to 5 votes wins.

ring 2

Wolf Creek

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.

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.

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

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.

If you've seen Exorcist: The Beginning, there isn't any point in seeing Dominion...It's the EXACT same story, with many of the exact same scenes...It's just done a little differently in some parts...

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

Wolf Creek leads with 3 votes. Ring 2 is right behind with 2 votes and Dominion is bringing up the rear with zero votes.

Need more votes....



Hahaha. I sure have you fooled, dont I.



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?

Ooops, she snuck in on me.

Ring 2 & Wolf Creek are tied up at 3 each. Dominion is still getting skunked.


Need more votes.

Wolf Creek

(I like the three way match ups by the way)

Heh...I have a tendency to do that ;)

Okay, I'd rather die than choose any of these movies so if the blood sprays left, Ring two. If it sprays right, wolf Creek.
Okay. I choose death.(commits seppuku)
Blood....sprayed.....left.....
ring 2
(gurgle)

Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek

didnt like Wolf Creek or Ring two, havent seen Dominion but

Wolf Creek was the least crappy

Wolf Creek survives 7-4-0 over The Ring 2 and Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist.

First one to 5 wins.

Final Destination 3

Final Destination 3...it has a good concept.

Final Destination 3 is out to a quick 2-0-0 lead over Anacondas and Hellseeker.


Need more votes....

Definitely...Not even close

Final Dest 3 increases it's lead to 3-0!



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.

Final Destination 3

hellraiser: hellseeker
