HDC Presents: 100 Years of Horror

[_____V_____]

Looks like the majority are in favor of the 6 Honorable Mentions as well, so if there aren't any more late surprises, shall we call it for the 2000s here?

We still need to go through ONE more step before we wind up this project.

In case it got lost in my long post, yep, I'm cool with the six.

[The Villain]

The only movie i have a problem with is Final Destination. I really dont think it deserves a spot anywhere on here

[Sculpt]

If folks wanted to go with the new 6 HR backings, I'm ok with it. One could add up the new backings and see what you get.

[Kandarian Demon]

Looks fine to me...

Is anyone else against Final Destination? Reason I ask is because of Villain's latest post, plus the -1 beside it's name in the list.

Last call, before we wrap up proceedings and go to the last step of our project.

I'll give FD a neg.

[_____V_____]

Two negative votes for Final Destination - from Villain & NE.

It still has 5 backers (and 3 votes) so it stays in place unless another contender springs up to take it's place. Either that, or someone else negates it's position, in which case it will drop down and the 6th Honorable Mentions spot will be vacated.

I'll give this 12 more hours.

If I'm counting right, I think that would put it at 3 votes, which is still one vote more than any other film, so it's still in the top six.

Looking at the rest of the films with 2 votes, there are some good ones there. However, the more I think about it, the more I'm actually considering voting for Hostel. I know that opinions vary on the film, but you've got to admit, that film's name comes up in a lot of horror conversations. If you were to ask many casual horror fans to name 5 horror films from the 2000s, that film might actually get more mentions than any other. Also, the first time I saw it, I was utterly terrified by the concept. I had trouble shaking it for several days, and couldn't help talking about it, even with people that had very little interest in the conversation. Even if you don't like the film, it's hard to deny that there are some unique concepts in it, like the gang of children that will spare your life for candy.

I'd back Hostel. I feel it was very important in getting horror back on track. It definitely influenced, along with Saw, the torture porn craze and its actually a pretty disturbing film IMO. I really liked it when it first came out. I think the only reason it gets bad remarks is actually because of its sub par sequels.
