Where to start.... Don't really have time to get stuck into this right now, but damn I have a lot to back here. I guess I'll start with a straight up list and then go into detail when I have more time. I'll ignore the stuff with 3+ votes for now since some of those should be certainties anyway.
Bubba Ho-Tep: Only 2 vote for these flicks is criminal!
Pulse (Kairo): Great premise, lots of atmosphere, much better than lots of the flicks with more votes.
Thirst (Bakjwi): One vote, really? :( If you haven't watched it, go watch it!
Pan's Labyrinth: I get why this didn't get more votes, but its theres still enough horror in this one for me, so I voted for it anyway. :p
Shadow of the Vampire: How was I the only person to vote for this genre bending classic? The premise alone makes this a top 20 flick, doesn't it? Awesome flick, needs to be better appreciated, Malkovich and Dafoe are amazing, just an all round quality movie.
Greedy Guts aka Otesanek: Well this is another one that I imagine most haven't seen. It's basically an eastern European fairy tale. Way off beat dark comedy from the legendary director Jan Svankmajer. This is visual cinema at its best. Svankmajer is an absolute legend, specifically of surreal/ stop motion cinema and this is probably the most accessible work.....
Not expecting it to get any backings, but one thing I would say is that there is tons of quality eastern European cinema/ directors that specialise in surreal cinema or stop motion work that is so closely linked to the horror genre that I would advise a lot of you guys to check out. Guys like Svankmajer, Juraj Herz, Brothers Quay.
I think there are a few others I wanted to back or talk about but I am rambling and really have no idea what I have backed or haven't anymore!
