You've got to be shitting me, The Others, Session 9, The Omen, Alien, all in this group? :panic:

[Jean]

with Fragiles, Session 9, Profondo Rosso and Let's Scare Jessica to Death, it's an outstanding bracket... but bears have to vote The Others. Love it immensely.

[Ben Staad]

I hadn't seen it but Session 9 looks pretty damn scary.

[frik]

Alien!

sk

[mae]

I hadn't seen it but Session 9 looks pretty damn scary.

I had to go with Session 9. It's truly one of the scariest films ever made (alongside The Omen), no hyperbole. Session 9 should go all the way to the Final Round.

[fernandito]

Session 9 has one of the best atmospheres from any horror movie I've ever seen. So glad I came across that little gem. I'll give it my vote once I'm certain the best film on here, A L I E N, is assured a place in the next round. :)

[Jean]

I hadn't seen it but Session 9 looks pretty damn scary.It is. There's at least one scene there I don't want to remember.

***

I've only just realized that Jessica was made by Paramount. I could have sworn it was an independent film.

[barlow]

Alien is one of my top 10 favorite movies, but it looks like it is not going to have. Any trouble moving on. So I voted for Session 9, that movie creeps me out every time I see it!

I hate to BUTT in ....Are we voting on the 1978 or the 2010 remake?

[Jean]

wow, never knew there were two! (haven't seen either anyway)

[mae]

The original.

[Merlin1958]

"The Omen" deserves "honorable mention" here even if it will not move on. A very intense and well done flick!!

[needfulthings]

HOLLY SHIT! NOT ONE SINGLE VOTE.

I'LL HANG IN THERE... MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL GIVE US A VOTE.

SOMEBODY VOTE FOR US FOR US...OR
HEADS WILL ROLL!

[Mattrick]

I haven't seen The Omen yet. Old horror movie trailers are the worst sometimes, they are like cryers at a carnivale trying to sell tickets to a haunted house...which makes sense but they are so happy go lucky to me lol

[mae]

How does The Omen not have any votes? It must move on. One of the best films in this tournament and so scary. And that score!

[Jean]

it is in a very unfortunate bracket

[dnemec]

I voted for The Omen, but this is a hard bracket.

Mattick--you really must watch it! Just make sure it's the original. I haven't seen the remake as I detest Liev Schreiber, but I can't imagine he could come close to Gregory Peck in that role.

[Mattrick]

Detest Liev Schreiber? That's possible? I did see the remake in theatres, it was average.

[Heather19]

The Others, although I really hope Session 9 makes it on to.

[divemaster]

I voted for The Omen. Most certainly. Did not need prompting.

But, yes, overall a very tough bracket.

[fernandito]

Gave my vote to Session 9 :D

[mae]

Gave my vote to Session 9 :D

:nana:

On a different note, sad to see Let's Scare Jessica to Death getting left behind.

[Jean]

bears share both feelings expressed above

and it will be absurd if The Others doesn't make it

[Ben Staad]

I decided not to vote in this bracket. I've only seen a few of these and of that group I would have voted for Alien.

[fernandito]

ALIEN is the only other film - apart from Psycho - to advance with double digit figures. I foresee an interesting match up between these two.

[mae]

Need one more vote for Session 9 and one for The Omen, to advance Session 9 and force an epic tiebreak between The Others and The Omen :excited:

P.S.: Poor Jessica...

[mae]

Gah, Alien doesn't need any help! :panic:

[Heather19]

The Others, Session 9, and Alien all make it onto round 2

[Jean]

very good

[Heather19]

Yes, although I will say that I'm shocked that only 3 of us voted for The Others. It's the perfect ghost story. Makes me think it won't make it beyond round 2 :(

[mae]

Unbelievable that The Omen does not advance. What kind of world do we live in?

[Iwritecode]

Unbelievable that The Omen does not advance. What kind of world do we live in?

It sounds interesting but it’s one of those movies I’ve just never gotten around to watching. Not even the re-make.

[mae]

You have to. It's an absolute classic, and still super scary.

[divemaster]

The Omen is one of the few movies that after watching it, I actually had nightmares. I dreamed I was in the graveyard and the dogs were there and I was trying to get out but had to keep opening graves... Also, the religious aspect really resonated. Classic film; classic horror. It got my vote.

[mae]

I did not expect it would just get two. I was sure it would move on.

[Jean]

there's something about that movie that makes it escape my mind all the time. I know I watched it twice. When I was watching it the second time, I clearly remember thinking, "Holy shit, it's not all that bad as I thought, wow, it's a good film, actually!" Now I don't remember what I was thinking that about.

[fernandito]

is that the one where some guy gets his wang cut off

[divemaster]

is that the one where some guy gets his wang cut off

The Omen? No; no wang-cutting in The Omen.
:confused:

[Iwritecode]

is that the one where some guy gets his wang cut off

I remember hearing of a scene like that in The Serpent and the Rainbow.

[fernandito]

Lol. I was referring to Audition.

[mae]

No, not the wang.
