50 Essential Horror Movies (2 Viewers)

[chutneyfarmer]

Any list which rates Hostel as being in the Top 5000 Horror films of all time ain't worth diddley squat!

 

[David Kronenbourg]

So we're all agreed then - Hostel is a piece of shit

Putting Evil Dead I and II as one entry is a cop-out and really bullshit.

The remake had it's teaser trailer premiered at New York Comic Con the other day.

Not sure how I feel about it, obviously it won't be as good as the original and all the comedy / diy vibe looks to be gone but the gore quotient is upped and not too much CGI is being used although it is only a teaser .

I liked it and it was pretty influential (though not in a good way). Bu as mentioned not even close to top 50 material.

I'm getting a sense of "preference-for-implied-violence".

Which probably means we won't see New York Ripper feature.

I think they are saving that for the top 10. Besides it will always feature in our hearts.

That's better - Black Christmas, Nightmare, Friday 13th - all solid.

Not to mention Suspiria and the requisite nods to seminal works.

Judging by those omitted so far, the Top 10 shouldn't contain too many surprises. We've yet to see Halloween, Omen, Exorcist, Bride of Frankenstein, Nosferatu or Psycho. What else, will Night of the Living Dead make it in? Probably one more Dracula movie at least.

[hermie]

Jaysus, Don't Look Now, and of course, Rosemary's Baby. And I don't think I mentioned the Shining above. That should wrap it up. Is the list out today or tomorrow?

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Rosemary's Baby no. 1 for me

 

[dunderhead]

Boom! 10 to 1...

falls into the trap of dissing Halloween III: Season of The Witch. SILVER SHAMROCK.

No Omen. Glaring omission if you ask me.

 

[Hector Grey]

No Omen. Glaring omission if you ask me.

Yeah, the remake at the very least.
Also, i'd have had 28 weeks later in there, but it seems like a fairly american top 50.
