HDC Presents: 100 Years of Horror

I'll remove my negative vote for Dawn of the Dead and move it to Hostel. While I agree the film's premise was unique, it was lacking in most other places for me. It seemed like more of a ripoff of Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre than anything. And the acting was not really that great either. Final Destination is a superior films in many ways, in my opinion. The premise was really unique and well-executed. The acting was not Academy Award material, but it was not bad either, in my opinion. As for formulaic, that was the kind of the point. It was intended to be a different kind of slasher. I think there is a lot more to it than many here have assumed. Anyway, in my opinion, it is far more deserving to be on this list than Hostel, which is why I will negative vote Hostel. I respect everyone's opinions, but simply strongly disagree. Other than that, the Honorable Mentions section is fine with me.

I'm fine with Hostel not being on the list. There's plenty of other movies that deserve it more. However i do like the film and believe it to be important to the genre due to when it came out and what it contributed towards however the real reason i backed it is to try and get rid of Final Destination. All your arguments showed was that Final Destination is better, in your opinion, then Hostel and shows just how mediocre FD is.

I like Final Destination, i really do. It's stupid fun. But it's basically just "Let's see how everyone dies next." It's not scary, it's not well made or well acted. If it weren't for all the ridiculous sequels they churned out, it would be forgettable.

Final Destination is barely a movie, it's a cheap gimmick. It's not a good movie that somebody made. It's an interesting premise that someone came up with and then turned into a movie.

That's why I mentioned adding them up, because I posted, if we're not sticking with original 6, then my 6 HR backings are (and I've included the backings):

The Host aka Gwoemul (2006) (backed by The Villain) {Straker*}, Sculpt) [The Host on netfilx]
Oldboy (2003) (backed by neverending, seconded by Giganticface, Sculpt)
Pulse aka (Kairo) (2001) (backed by neverending, seconded by Straker, Sculpt)
Inside aka À l'intérieur (2007) (backed by Giganticface, seconded by neverending, Straker) {The Villain*}, Sculpt)
Hard Candy (2005) (backed by neverending, seconded by The Villain, metternich1815, Straker, Sculpt)
John Dies at the End (2012) (Sculpt)

I think The Host, Oldboy and Pulse would be better choices than Hostel. I'm leaving official counts to V only, but for the sake of making any practical sense whatsoever: my HR backings would (unofficially) give these three films 3 backings each. One switch by someone would seal the 6th HR.

Villian - would you support Oldboy or Pulse over Hostel?
Mett - would you support Host, Oldboy or Pulse over Hostel?
Gigan - would you support Host or Oldboy over Hostel?
Straker - would you support Oldboy over Hostel?
neverending - would you support Host over Hostel?

If any of you would, than that would become the 6th HR (unofficially).

I hated Oldboy and have only seen the remake of Pulse so no i wouldnt. But i would prefer Host over Hostel and Final Destination. I know i've already backed it but thats one i would really like to see make the list.

All added.

2 films drop down from the SIX, and thus 2 spots have been vacated. We have 3 new contenders for those slots, which makes it a fight between 5 films for 2 spots.

Battle Royale
Final Destination
The Host
Oldboy
Kairo (aka) Pulse

Need to find 2 from the above 5.

I've already backed Pulse and Battle Royale. I'll also back Oldboy.

You already backed Oldboy too. I think you were the first. :)

Damn...lol...

The remake of Oldboy looks really cool to me. Directed by Spike Lee.

Like I needed another reason not to see it.

I really don't get why people like that movie so much.
