Only the gentle are ever really strong.
My obvious first choice is Nightmare on Elm St. Although I'm sure it'll breeze on through to the next round, so I'm debating about sending my vote elsewhere. But I can't decide what one. I loved them (all minus The Mist). Going to have to think for a bit.

Think I'll have to give my love to The Ring, a very underappreciated film (and even more unappreciated sequel that I hated the first time I saw it) because of it's strong performances and absolute permeation with dread and atmosphere. Some movies try to be a little creepy all the time and almost none succeed...I'd put the ring, in terms of constant atmosphere, up there with films like The Orphanage and Halloween. I still watch both of The Ring films about once a year and I never seem to get sick of them. I hear Ringu is better than The Ring but I simply can't see it, much like how I cannot see how Let The Right One In is better than Let Me In.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is probably the best horror film of the group. The Ring is a very well-made creepy horror. I love both of those movies. Even Saw is very effective at what it sets out to do. But for all around over-the-top enjoyment, I have to give my vote to Re-Animator.
If The Ring and Nightmare advance this might be the best outcome to a poll yet.

I am deeply upset that Dawn of the Dead has fallen behind.
I'm surprised The Mist is doing so well.

I know, I think I said that in another thread I just never knew there was so much love for it, especially considering all the other films in this group.

I REMEMBER WHAT MY AGENT TOLD ME WHEN I GOT THE PART.
Spoiler:
The Ring
But Freddy better make it, too!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
Never Sleep Again, a great documentary about the Elm Street franchise, is now streaming on Netfix: http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70138769?trkid=202653
VERY surprised to see The Ring moving on.
the good thing is that Saw didn't advance. I was suspecting it would be running away with it.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
