More gothic but really it is a Neo-Noir film, just like the original 'Let the Right On In' I would not call a horror movie either. Ana Lily Amirpour has kind of disappointed after making such a wonderful film I would say, The Bad Batch sucked. Her in that hijab on the skateboard is bad to the freaking bone though, super cool but not sure it is horror however. The music in that film is really standout though, Bashy is freaking tight! I'm not disagreeing with you per se, but out of the categories offered I think its intersection with horror is stronger than anything else, if for no other reason than its stylistic homage to Nosferatu. It's not a no-brainer inclusion.... that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, one thing on all of that... You gotta remember this is not Film School’s Future. There might be 10 people on this site who have seen those five movies. They won’t win. Additionally, I don’t think any of those with the possible exception of Repulsion had as big an impact in the genre as NOTLD. Peeping Tom created the slasher, but nobody will accept that. It’s Halloween that created the genre in 99% of people’s eyes. Edited February 15, 2020 by Outpost31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhh. I think that was Bava’s previous film The Girl Who Knew Too Much that started the Giallo craze. Peeping Tom, too. Interesting discussion on the thriller/horror aspects in all those, too. I feel like Carpenter is due a lot of credit for giving Halloween a supernatural element. Calling Meyers The Shape, can’t be killed quality, preternatural/supernatural quality. It might not have invented the slasher, but it gave us Freddy, Jason and every other supernatural “slasher.” Edited February 15, 2020 by Outpost31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like he couldn’t have ramped it up if not for Peeping Tom and a few others that paved the way for violence and sexuality at all, much less gratuitous.

And that's a pretty big impact on cinema! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wait, @Deadpulse, I didn’t bother to read how this is going to work. Are we basically whittling it down to 8 best in a decade, then putting those 8 against each other to determine 1 best of per decade? Or will there be 8 ranked per decade?

This thread will decide a Horror genre representative for the 2010s. The amount of votes the winning flick gets will determine its seeding for the horror genre bracket. That bracket will decide the best Horror movie of all time according to us. Then we move onto the next genre. Sorry about the delay. Poll will be up in just a minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I just want everybody to know that I am nominating and voting for The Thing (1982) in both sci fi and horror. I know it will not win best for either overall, and although that will bum me out something fierce, I will be able to accept it without embarrassing myself.
