I'll back Ringu. As for my choices, the following three each deserve a place on the list either as top 22 or at least in the honorable mentions section. The first is Urban Legend. This film was a really unique slasher where the killer killed based off urban legends. In addition to a great premise, it is executed surprisingly well. Also, Robert Englund and Brad Dourif both starred in this film. Definitely a worthy addition to the list. The second is Event Horizon. This film is an excellent sci~fi horror from the 1990s. There are some terrific performances, especially by Sam Neil and Laurence Fishbourne. Additionally, the film is very dark with all kinds of dark imagery, throughout the film it often feels like a nightmare (and this is one of the beautiful things of this movie,the blurring of the lines between real and imaginary). This film still scares me (or at least creeps me out). As for it being a sci-fi, well the horror is very strong, so it definitely is a horror movie. Thus, this film would be an excellent edition tot his list. The third is From Dusk till Dawn. This is an interesting vampire film directed by Rodriguez. This film has a rather unique story and diverges from the usual gothic interpretation of vampires. This film also features some excellent performances. On that note, features such people as George Clooney, Tom Savini, and Quentin Tarantino in acting roles. There is also exciting vampire killing action and an impressive level of gore, especially considering that George Clooney stars. If this film does not make the top 22, it at least deserves a place in the honorable mentions section. Anyway, these are all the films that I would support for the two spots. Any of these four would be almost equally okay.
