Someone had to, right?
Let me start with this...I LOVE the work put into the HDC top 100 list. It is a Herculian task that is well thought out and greatly appreciated.
But... No one will ever agree 100%. What's theONE MOVIE movie on the HDC top 100 that bugs you the most? For me - EVENT HORIZON For the life of me, I don't see how Event Horizon comes anywhere close to a top 100 - let alone coming in a #42, 8 spaces higher than the original THE HAUNTING (easily in my top 10)

I have a few gripes about the order of the list, but I'm certain they are just my opinion...
Serpent & The Rainbow should be a lot higher than #98 in my opinion and TCM getting bubbled out of the top 10 (It got #11) makes me cringe. That's easily in my top 2 or 3. So those two I thought should have been ranked better, and these ones I think should have been lower or omitted completely... Phantasm #65 - This movie shouldn't even be on the list, nor should it be watched by anyone... ever. The Ring #53 - This movie was sucked. Audition #21 - 21??? Come on! There's 1 frickin' scene in the whole movie that's even remotely cool. The Thing #4 - This is drastically over-rated in my opinion. It's an [/i]okay[/i] movie, but certainly not a better horror movie than anything ranked 1-15 on the list. Anyways, those are my gripes. And yeah, Flayed is THE MAN for tabulating and orchestrating all of that.

I'll let you guys in on a couple of behind the scenes secrets here.
There were five movies in the lead at any given time. They were A Nightmare on Elm Street Halloween Night of the Living Dead Dawn of the Dead The Thing The Thing was in the lea for the longest. The closest The Exorcist came was #2, but it was always one or two points behind The Thing at the time. A Nightmare on Elms Street was the first movie to have the lead. I started the tallying after six lists were in. The next two lists to come in knocked it out of the top spot, and it never returned. Until the last three lists, Night of the Living Dead was in the lead, with The Thing at #2, Dawn of the Dead at #3 & Halloween at #4. I'm disappointed that I was the only person to give Exorcist III: Legion a vote.

Event Horizon was a well-made, thoughtful movie.
Maybe because of the 20 minute-cut [::due to "extensive gory scenes of the ship's crew going through extremely painful sexual pleasure before dying" ::] it suffered from the makers, it could not give the sucker punch to the audiences, but the rest was pretty good. Nice pace, excellent direction and good performances. Although #42 IS indeed a higher rank than I expected for it. Se7en getting knocked out of the top 10 was a surprise. So was TCM. And I thought the Shining, the Exorcist and Omen would have done much better. But still, a nice compilation. Kudos to Flayed for doing a great job and devoting so much time and energy to it.

Ive never even look3ed at it, to be honest, but I agree with Event Horizon not deserving to be included. I thought most of the acting was either forced or horrible. All of Paul Anderson's work has this glossy, empty feel to it, like it is missing something i cant quite put my finger on. Dont get me wrong, I dont hate it, i just dont thinkit is that great.
Kinda like resident Evil. i really did like it, and i ran out and bought it immediately when it came out, but.... Wathcing it again, it is an action movie with resident evil/horror trappings. Basically, when i want horror, i want turkey. Paul Anderson's movies (for the most part) are like turkey loaf. Still enjoyable on some level, but it just isnt right. Except for Alien Vs Predator.... That was a bag of old raw giblets that were left in the sun all day.

I was really surprised that while remakes like The House on Haunted Hill and Dawn of the Dead stormed up the list, classics like Child's Play weren't even in the running.

The alien/predator hybrid chestburster runs amok on the Predator ship, causing it to crash in smalltown USA
There's even a mom fresh back from the Iraq War (a soldier allowed to come home? total fantasy) who gives her daughter Night Vision goggles to prove there's nothing in the dark to be afraid of. but of course there is... LAME!
