{*} = Support for Honorable Mentions



The initial backings/negations stay.

Adding a special "Giant Monster" films section at the end for due consideration, since it was demanded.

Remember, we are here to select TWO films from the remaining ones from the DEBATABLE section onwards.
The "In The Cut" section is NOT for debate.

Once that is done, we can proceed to select SEVEN films from the remaining stock for our Honorable Mentions.

As with the 90s, we have a few films from the 2000s with NEGATIVE VOTES as well, so it's pretty much open for debate. Although, if we go by majority, we can chuck in the 2 films with 4 votes each into our top 24 and then proceed directly to the Honorable Mentions. Or we can debate till we find our films by majority backings.

Either way, let's hear 'em.

It looks like I have already previously backed the movies I felt deserved to be in the list, and from what I've understood we can't back them again, right?

Yep. You can't back the same film twice.

So, do I need to go back and see what I voted for to begin with?

Votes are fine. You can vote for a film AND back it ONCE during the subsequent debates.

OK, thanks, V.

[neverending]

So, are we voting or backing right now? This whole process gets more confusing every day.

Oh good. I'm glad I'm not the only one! :D:p

IMO, it's not a bad idea to remind us of what you backed, if for no other reason than to put it back on the radar. (Probably good to mention that you've already backed them though, to save V the trouble of looking it up.)

...

Having said that, I'm going to re-mention three films I've already backed. These three films are not just on my top 22, but are way up near the top.


Inside

A fresh take on the slasher subgenre, it bastardizes the formula, yet still essentially addresses almost every item in the list. This film makes me squirm more than just about anything, and that's saying something. Forget Hatchet: that's more of the same old, same old. This is something new.


Martyrs

An utterly one-of-a-kind film for those that are willing to give it the chance it deserves, and can stomach it. As the French are doing, it incorporates existing subgenre elements, but twists or re-invents them in ways no one has done before. (It's a home invasion movie... wow, that was quick. It's a demon ghost film... or is it? It's torture... a whole new level and tone.) The film is unique in that, like the experiments performed on the protagonist, the viewer becomes the subject of a similar experiment: can you endure more pain than you can imagine, to the point of transcendence to a new level of existence? Okay, maybe the viewer won't reach martyrdom by watching the film, but it will be dizzying ride in the process.


Session 9

This film does creepy, surreal atmosphere about as well as two of my favorites: The Shining and Jacob's Ladder. The location is almost a character in itself, and some of the imagery and sounds are as memorable and spine-tingling as that in The Changeling. The slow-burn creep-out storyline is as good as it gets, and has a rewarding ending.
