(Bloody Disgusting writers collaborated on a list of some of the best films this decade. The entire list was given to the Bloody Disgusting staff who then built their own Top 20 lists. Each film was given a point value. #20 received 1 point, #19 received 2 points, and so on all the way to number 1, which received 20 points. The numbers were tallied and the result are the top films listed. The bonus film had tied with #20 and the tie was broken by the number of actual votes.)
Hmm...as you can see - no Ginger Snaps, no HOTC/TDRs, no Blade II, no Grindhouse?! no Final Destination?! no Dog Soldiers??? Maybe they left out Pan's Labyrinth because it bordered more on fantasy than horror...
And Saw ranked so high?! The Ring at #6???
Makes you wonder.
