    Alright everyone, time for another movie competition! This time we're going to be voting for the best horror film.

    *You may nominate one film per post
    *Please wait until 3 other people have cast a nomination before nominating another

    Also, please be sure to number your nomination so it's easier to sort once the list has been compiled. Once all 128 nominees have been named we'll randomly place them into groups, and voting will begin.

    I have a question. What are we considering films like Alien? It's considered horror by most, but I've always looked at it as more of a sci-fi film. Obviously, it's both. It certainly hits most of the check boxes for a horror film and is much more horror than the rest of the films in the franchise.

    That's a good question. I'm sure there we'll come across several examples as we chug along where a film can be classified as more than one genre. Let's just use our best judgement. In this specific example, Alien checks off all the right boxes so I don't see any harm in including it.

    Alien follows the formula of a monster movie thus, horror. Aliens folows the formula of an action movie thus, not horror.

    Personally I don't consider movies that have zero supernatual quality to actually be horrors. Any movie that is about psychos or anything like that I don't include as horror but that's just me, I don't consider say Saw to be horror.


    My nomination:

    Yes, but is it "Horror" by "Mattrick'" own definition? As I recall it is a "Nut Job, crazy person" film, no? Or am I thinking of another film?
