It is open for discussion until midnight tomorrow night.

Also, I'm fixing to post up the next vote. Please, for any of you that haven't, send me the years on any movies you suggested, or the imdb link, so am certain we are talking about the same movie.

Now, the next voting contest.

Pi (1998)

Altered States (1980)

Aliens (1986)

Dark City (1998)

Virgin Spring (1960)

Voting comes to a close on Sunday at 5 PM EST.

my vote is for Altered States.

as for Funhouse, the main thing that stuck out to me was that the entire plotline of the younger brother sneaking out of the house to go to the carnival was completely pointless filler. it could have easily been cut out and the audience never would have known the difference.
he left the house, spied on his sister, stayed out late, and did absolutely nothing. nobody knew he was there, nobody knew he was gone from the house, nothing. why even have that plotline?
I like Funhouse, but I tend to think it's because I'm biased towards movies that deal with the carnival and sideshows. I'm also nostalgic for it b/c it's one of the first horror movies I remember seeing.

I'll decide later. I loved Altered States and would love to have a discussion on here about it, but I also need to see Dark City.

ooo, let's see...

altered states or virgin spring?

well, it's been a lot longer since i've seen altered states, so i'll go with that one.

Finished watching The Funhouse...and I was impressed by it. Given my love for slashers, especially from the 80s, this doesn't disappoint the appetite at all. The plot is simple and paper-thin (ala most teen slashers), and I thought the killer/monster was grotesque enough to elicit horrific reactions from the viewers. The minor flaws were the characterisation - Hooper could have made more believable characters (although all the actors do their best), and the first 35-40 mins is a bit slow for a slasher, although one may argue that its the buildup to the delicious 2nd half coming up. All in all, I would give it a 07/10.

My vote is for The Virgin Spring. Would love to see Bergman's masterpiece and the reactions from you all.

still trying to get a copy of Funhouse......I saw it many years ago....loved the whole idea of people traped in a "funhouse" with a killer. Was a bit disappointed in last years "Dark Ride" from the movies to die for" series.
