kingseanjohn Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Easy choices here imo. Next round is where it gets tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The Shining and Silence of the Lambs. I will say though, the remaining four are a pretty good top 4 for the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 You're all going to let a thriller beat out the greatest horror movie of all time? Silence of Lambs is a thriller. I'll go down fighting that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Shining and Exorcist. Easy choices for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 ^ Ditto. The Shining is infinitely rewatchable for me, and I still can’t re-watch The Exorcist. Both of those things speak volumes to how good those movies are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up going Exorcist too, but i can't fault anyone for voting for SotL, especially since this might be their only chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Literally any of these 4 movies could win and I would say it's a perfect representation of the horror Genre. So I just went with my favorites of the list. Silence of the Lambs The Shinning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Silence of the Lambs is beating The Exorcist for BEST HORROR. If this stands, this round of voting will down as the goat horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Genre was just an organizational method really, IMO you should be voting for whichever is the best movie, not the best fit. It would be a shame if a flick didnt win best movie at the end simply because it didn't fit enough people's idea of genre constraints as opposed to how good it was.

But in the end, do we really want SotL being written down in the history books as beating The Exorcist in a horror category? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 exorcist is one of the best movies let alone horror movies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I am kind of surprised about how close The Exorcist and The Silence of the Lambs are. Both great films and mind you The Silence of the Lambs has one of the best true villains in any film, I love the original Manhunter film for example but the Hannibal totally sucks compared to the Anthony Hopkins version. Brian Cox is a good actor but the entire vibe was just off and the Hannibal character was such an afterthought in that amazing original Manhunter film. The Silence of the Lambs really brings him out and that play between he and Jodie is great. Would have been curious if Jodie would have been in the 2nd one Hannibal that turned out to completely suck. Still in terms of pure horror movie The Exorcist is more disturbing and scary so I went with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
