Just added Joshua to my queue, looks creepy as f---.

Torn between Night of the Living Dead and Repulsion, both of which I love. Hmmm ....

And the trailers:

Pablo - going forward should we just post the movie trailers instead of the posters?

[Jean]

FUCK

this bracket consists mainly of my nominees:

Joshua, an evil child classic
The Dark, easily the most hopeless horror film ever, negating the very idea most horrors revolve around
Carnival of Souls, exquisite, elegant, creepy
Aparecidos, a very disturbing, dark thing that can even boast some originality - not something that can be said about the absolute majority of horror films

... and I have to vote for Repulsion, which I didn't even nominate!

[mae]

I'd like to see both, if possible.

Voting for Repulsion, of course.

The Ring

[Heather19]

Can't decide, there's a few here that I really love.

[divemaster]

Another vote for The Ring. I actually liked it better than Ringu (Japanese original) and The Ring Virus (Korean knock-off). Probably the only time I like the U.S. remake better than an Asian original.

[Jean]

bears slept through both

[fernandito]

Ended up going with Night of the Living Dead.

I was gonna say, I thought you were a huge fan of Asian cinema. But I do agree, The Ring was better.


Was Bay of Blood really the inspiration for Friday the 13th? If so I must watch asap.

The Ring 2 is a very underrated sequel. I wasn't even that huge a fan of it the first time I'd seen it but after re-watching it a few times I think I like it more than the first at least in the sense it tells a much better story.


And how have I never heard of Joshua...IT'S GOT SAM ROCKWELL IN IT?!?! Love that guy (Desperately hoping we see a Sam Rockwell/Mark Ruffalo True Detective, it would be awesome no?). Vera Farmiga is a delight as well.

[Mattrick]

And while I haven't seen most of these I still think it's a great horror and more thatn deserving of having a chance to move on so I will go with The Ring.

Netflix has it on instant, I'll try to watch it soon.

[Ben Staad]

I can't vote in this bracket. I've only seen two of these (The Ring & NotLD) and absolutely hated The Ring.

Yes! I am a huge fan of Asian cinema. It's as much a part of me as SK collecting. But I have to call it like I see it.

In fact, as far as the trailers, I've already done the YouTube research and saved all the necessary links :) So it's not a big deal for me to plop them in.

[Jean]

awesome results now

everyone got some votes, except Bay of Blood and the four bears' nominees

[Heather19]

Not any longer, I just gave my vote to Carnival of Souls, since my other two favorites (Night of the Living Dead, and The Ring) are sure to move on.

[Ricky]

I can't really vote in this one either, Tim.

[mae]

Wow, a whopping four nominees with no votes here...

[Jean]

Wow, a whopping four nominees with no votes here...
three of them mine. Of course.

Very sad for bears. This was the lowest voted group it looks like... Unfortunate.

[Jean]

bears are not very sad, though. Looks like Repulsion might advance

[Heather19]

The Ring, Night of the Living Dead and Repulsion move on.

Sad Carnival of Souls didn't make it :(

[mae]

I did not like The Ring :(

[Jean]

neither did I. It was boring.

[Still Servant]

I've never heard of Joshua and I'm a huge Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga fan. How is this possible?

[Jean]

really, how? It's bears' nominee!!!

[Heather19]

I keep forgetting that she was in that movie. Maybe it's time for a rewatch.

[Jean]

yes, I am thinking about that too now that I am watching Bates Motel

[Ricky]

I thought the same thing, Mike. I only heard of it because of this tournament and just got it from Netflix.
