Horror is when you know and love the characters, but you also know something very bad is going to happen to them. It's not the monsters!

Oh fuck I just realized we failed to nominate this:
That was going to be one of my first nominations, but then I figured it'd have no chance and I didn't want to see it do so poorly.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I was sure it was nominated! what a shame

FIGHT CLUB (1999)
Not a horror film. And also, way too late
You are VERY much mistaken. Fight Club is very much a horror film as it is a postmodern rethink of Psycho.Not a horror film. And also, way too late
Still doubt me? Then check out the following official review from Empire magazine, as they categorically state that Fight Club is a horror movie:
http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/...asp?FID=132789
In addition, it should be noted that In 2004 and 2006, Fight Club was voted by Empire readers as the ninth and eighth greatest film of all time, respectively.
Fight Club is undeniably a masterpiece of film making and one of the greatest horror movies of all time. To omit this movie from the voting list would be a travesty of justice, and would leave the final results of the poll redundant, as it can be likened to leaving out The Shining, Halloween or Jaws in terms of cinematic importance.
In view of the how great Fight Club is as a movie and in light of its cultural and cinematic significance, I would ask that this movie is granted an automatic bye to the next round so that it can be included properly in the poll and take its rightful place within the very top echelons of the horror genre.
Yea… no. It’s not a horror film.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

Fight Club is classified as psychological horror in the same vain as Psycho. It's certainly more a horror film than that utter shit Mummy trilogy I see got included in the poll. I mean WTF!!! The Mummy is a kid's action / adventure film!!!!
And it's UTTER SHIT to boot!!!
I agree with you about The Mummy trilogy but it’s a major stretch to compare Fight Club to Psycho. Sure they both have characters with some sort of dual personalities but that alone doesn’t make it a horror movie.Fight Club is classified as psychological horror in the same vain as Psycho. It's certainly more a horror film than that utter shit Mummy trilogy I see got included in the poll. I mean WTF!!! The Mummy is a kid's action / adventure film!!!!

It's actually more to it than that. Read the official Empire magazine review and you'll see that there are many elements in Fight Club that make it a horror film.

Geeze, y'all are carrying on like a couple of dweebs debating the merits of the Designated Hitter!
I did. Still not horror.It's actually more to it than that. Read the official Empire magazine review and you'll see that there are many elements in Fight Club that make it a horror film.
