Its time to compile another Top 100
 
I have been thinking of this a lot lately, and the two awesome stickys on top of the forum kept reminding me that this place wont be a true horror destination until we have another top 100 beside it.

And that is "The 100 most disturbing, goriest, and sickest movies of all time".

We have had countless threads in the modern movies section, asking about which ones are the goriest, or sickest, or most visually disturbing, challenging...and we have some of the best and knowledgeable members here who I am sure will be willing to give their inputs into the compilation of such a top 100. For the gore-hounds out there, this will be the ultimate list.

So put your thinking caps on, and dwell into your movie-viewing experiences.

Send me PMs or email me at [email protected].

Either way, I ll get your lists and then start working on it as soon as I can.

The Mothman 05-04-2007 09:30 PM

some nasty movies you've never heard of: coming up!

_____V_____ 05-04-2007 09:32 PM

You are not limited to any number of movies. Bear in mind that the movie mentioned should be amply sick, gorific or mentally challenging for the audiences. That being said, go right ahead, Moth.

_____V_____ 05-04-2007 09:48 PM

I d like to add one more thing. Some movies wont be that gorific or sick, but could be really mentally disturbing (like Eyes without a Face). So just dont restrict your recommendations to gore and sick movies alone...

Disease 05-04-2007 09:49 PM

So how do you decide on the Final 100?

And if Blood sucking Freaks isn't in there, then that's injustice...

_____V_____ 05-04-2007 09:54 PM

Just send em in. I ll check into em and make the list. Ultimately it will come down to which movies get mentioned the most, then the next one etc.

If a movie/movies ends up with 1 recommendation, I ll check it out and see if its worthy to make the final cut.

Disease 05-04-2007 09:58 PM

So it's your top 100 not ours?

_____V_____ 05-04-2007 10:02 PM

Duh, its "ours" not yours or mine. Bad pronoun there, mate.

If I had my way, I d make a top 100 list and ask a mod to sticky it, not ask for lists from you all.

And furthermore, I do go by popular mentioning. To make this totally fair, this wont be a top 100, but just 100 of the best, as chosen by HDC's finest.

Disease 05-04-2007 10:08 PM

oh, I should have had a comer after 100, but that's beside the point....

_____V_____ 05-04-2007 10:19 PM

Anyway its bed-time for me. Send your lists in, people.

I encourage one and all to participate in this. All of your contributions are welcome. And I am sure we can think of 100 gorific and disturbing movies between ourselves.

Just a little note, if the recommendations make it to more than 100, then the least recommended movies get cut, obviously.

Nighty night.

swiss tony 05-04-2007 10:34 PM

at the risk of appearing thick, how do i pm that name of yours

Disease 05-04-2007 11:24 PM

just type in v, it should come up with a list of names that are similar.

@ swiss tony...Click on my name or avatar from my post, and then proceed to send me a Private Message. You can email too, at the above-mentioned email addy.

For those like Disease who have doubts about the selection process, and if you are bothered about your selected movie will be in it or not, I have 5 other very good members together with me, like a panel, with whom I will sit down and share these lists together, and the common consensus about a particular movie being either gorific, sickening, or visually disturbing will be discussed at length.

This meeting will be to decide those movies which are either tied together in the number of recommendations, or to decide to fill the other top 100 slots, in case we fall short of the 100 required, or if there is more than one movie with only 1 recommendation.

Of course, if a particular movie gets recommended the most, it automatically qualifies to be in the 100. Same goes for the rest. Auto-qualification is reserved for the most recommended movies only.

I am open to recommendations, suggestions, queries and discussions regarding the list. If you want to discuss about anything, feel free to drop me a PM or send me a email. I ll be more than happy to reply back.

_____V_____ 05-05-2007 07:36 AM

**Update**

Excellent lists, Mothman and Despare. If you think up of some more, send it. I ll be collating lists all through next week till next Sunday (if need be I ll extend the time if I get some late entries).

By 15th I m hoping I ll have a long list to start going through. It will take a lot of time and I hope I ll be free during those days, alongwith other members of the panel.

Mothman, Despare, Flayed bro, Zwoti...expect a PM soon.

Kane_Hodder 05-05-2007 10:21 AM

This would be a great list to look forward to. I will send you my list via email soon.

Shadow 05-05-2007 10:41 AM

You just cant have too many lists. I am eagerly awaiting this list.
As a newbie thank you all for the lists, they are great help.

_____V_____ 05-05-2007 10:44 AM

@ Kane, make sure you make the subject, "Recommendations for the gorific 100" or something.

@ Shadow, your welcome. This list will make the trio of stickys complete at the top. And it will be lists by the members, for the fans. You can contribute too, by sending one with your choices.

Me contribute? Oh no I am only but a mere newbie hehe. I am a real newbie to horror films always been a fan but just getting really interested so sadly my list of watched films is very unimpressive.
I have total faith in the other members and yourself to make yet another brilliant top 100 list.
:D

swiss tony 05-05-2007 05:05 PM

we all want all the opinions shadow. who gives a balls how many movies you've watched. it's all about opinions. please post:)

_____V_____ 05-05-2007 08:25 PM

***Update***

@ swiss tony, got your PM. Some of them are really good.

@ Manchestr, excellent list. If you think of more, drop me another PM.

@ Pr3ssur3, you have all the time you got. Take your time.


The recommendations are coming in thick and fast people. Already a core list of movies is beginning to form. At least 30-odd movies have more than 1 recommendation, so its pretty much sure they will make it into the Compiled 100 list.


Keep em coming.

The Flayed One 05-05-2007 09:42 PM

I'll contribute soon. In the meantime, I'll just give you a guilttrip for encroaching on my territory. ;)

_____V_____ 05-06-2007 12:00 AM

Welcome back, you non-frequenter!!

I knew I would get you back once you heard about another 100 to be compiled. You know too well its impossible to do it without your part in it.

So, get ready to get busy in this with me.:D

(btw, I hope you checked your PMs lately)

_____V_____ 05-06-2007 11:26 AM

Despare - Good additions. Keep thinking of more.

Cactus - Awesome list. Send me some more as soon as you think of it.

yourlastmistake - Great compilation. I d love if you think of more.



This is getting better and better. More and more good and experienced members sending some really good recommendations.

Anyone and everyone is invited. Its a list by HDC, for HDC and the true gore lovers out there. Its really great to see so many excellent recommendations by so many members. This is going to be a near-perfect 100, and we all will be mighty proud of it.



Keep em coming folks!

_____V_____ 05-07-2007 11:07 AM

yourlastmistake - got your additions in PM. Excellent choices. Keep thinking of more.

Doc Faustus - I am really impressed, especially by the way you differentiated them into categories. Good work, Doc...think of some more.


There are well over 300 movies listed now...its great to see more and more members coming forward and taking so much interest in this project.


I appreciate the time you have given to collect your thoughts and list your recommendations.




Great work, guys! Keep em coming!:)

_____V_____ 05-08-2007 11:16 AM

Got two great lists from Papillon Noir. Really great choices.

I was a bit surprised to know you havent seen some of em. I suggest you check into those you listed as soon as possible, (maybe even after the Gorific 100 is posted) and I assure you, you wont be disappointed by any one of em. At all.


Hats off. Excellent work.:)


Keep em coming, folks!!

Thanks. :)

Yeah, all of those are either in my Netflix Queue, I'm waiting for Netflix to carry it, or they're completely out of print. So, I'm working on it :p ;) Are there any specific ones that I should make a priority over the others?

Also, if there are any titles on the lists that I provided that you want me to summarize plot for and/or give details of why I think they should be included, let me know. :)

Elvis_Christ 05-09-2007 07:10 PM

The number one slot has to go to Cocoon.

_____V_____ 05-09-2007 08:53 PM

lmao...umm wb, Elvis?

Put your thinking cap on, pore through your VHSes and DVDs, and send me a list, you impersonator.;)

nice video but I dont think it matches our criteria here.

Nice additions, Doc. Keep thinking of more.


A total of 168 movies so far, from the 11 members who have submitted their recommendations.

I d like to thank all of em, and urge the others to send in some of their recommendations. I am sure many other members have some very good recommendations too. Lets rack our brains together and see if we can come up with some really good hard-to-find gorefests.


Keep em coming...there's still a lot of time.

yourlastmistake 05-12-2007 06:00 AM

I'm still working on my final list V , I'll send them to you some time this weekend.

_____V_____ 05-12-2007 06:16 AM

Sure, yourlast. Take your time.

I still have your previous list. Tallying together will be complete by next wednesday (at the most), and the panel sits to decide on the 100 sometime after that.

It all depends on the panel members agreeing to a common time, day and place...

By the last week of May, the 100 should be finalised and listed...most likely.

Kane_Hodder 05-13-2007 07:54 AM

Oops I completely forgot about this. I will send you my email by tomorrow.:)

_____V_____ 05-13-2007 08:53 AM

Make sure you get the addy right.

Its [email protected] and [email protected].

alkytrio666 05-13-2007 09:38 AM

Yeah, _V_, I'm'a send some too. It's been crazy over here for me, but I'll get 'em to you ASAP.

_____V_____ 05-13-2007 10:55 AM

Thats great, Alky. Take your time and think over your list. There's absolutely no rush.

You can PM me or email me. I ll be very eager to see your list.:)

_____V_____ 05-15-2007 09:06 PM

***Update***


Received some excellent additions from yourlastmistake and paws the great.
And a short but effective list from Shazbut.

Categorisation starts this Friday, as soon as I am off work. Discussion about the 100 between the 4 panel members will most likely be on either Saturday/Sunday, hopefully...depending on them being online at the same time.

Anyway, everything's on schedule for a last week of May list.

Good work everyone! Your hard work in compiling these recommendations are much appreciated.:)

GorePhobia 05-15-2007 10:10 PM

I would love to do this but I am not sure if I am late or not. I'd also like to help you with picking the top.

Let me know.

You feel like creating another horror icon tournament,or have the time?

GorePhobia 05-15-2007 11:17 PM

I actually never finished the last one.

It's still here somewhere. I'd have to dig it up and finish it.
