The Mighty HDC Battle Royale IV

[_____V_____]

BATTLE ROYALE IV - THE FINAL CHALLENGE

Greetings, WEAPON X and ZERO. Both of you have slaughtered all your BR opponents and have made it to the FINAL CHALLENGE of HDC BR IV. A huge accomplishment, indeed!

Welcome, both of you, to your 15TH and FINAL Battle Royale IV Challenge.


You both have to answer the following question to the best of your ability, depending upon your knowledge of the genre:

If you had to choose *ONE* film from the 2000s (the year 2000 - now) as a true modern classic in the veins of the mighty horror classics from the late 60s, 70s & early 80s, which one would it be and why?



There are 100 points on offer for each of you in this Final Challenge.

The deadline for sending your entries ends on Monday, 26th November, at NOON EDT, USA time.

You may either send me your entries via PMs, or you may email me at [email protected], mentioning your HDC Nickname in the Subject along with the Challenge number, for e.g., "Zero - HDC Battle Royale IV - Final Challenge #15 Answer."

You may use the internet for research, articles and analysis for your answer, as well as ask for help from others well-versed in the genre, but each one of you must send in their own individual entry.

Also, ONLY YOUR FIRST ENTRY will be counted. So, make sure to proof-read and check/re-check your answer before sending it off through PM/e-mail to me.

All the best, you two!

*turns V into stone immediately*

Good luck, both of you.

At least you got me. I'll still keep you on the friend thing!

I'm kind of glad I'm out now. That final question doesn't seem to have an answer and reads like a school essay question! I look forward to seeing the result on Monday.

Is there a number of words limit?

I ran into the 5000 character limit on the private message system but just sent in my answer in two parts. (which is to say I hope there isn't a word limit because I already submitted mine).

There is no limit to your thoughts and ideas.

Both entries have been received and duly forwarded to TWO esteemed HDC members who have agreed to be Judges for this Final Challenge. Once their replies are received, their names will be disclosed along with their criticisms or plaudits, if any.

We will then proceed.
