I disagree, I thought it was utter crap...

Despite being young, I believe it definitely deserves a place on the top 20.

I assume you are talking about Cabin in the Woods here.... My point about it being a new film is that people are only backing it because it is fresh in their minds.... If it was good enough to make the top 20 that would be fine, but it isn't, its fresh and fun, but not good enough to be considered a top 20 movie of this or any era. I can think of 50 better movies from the last 13 years, easily.

No its not.... You can argue whether it can fit into the horror genre and I wouldn't have much of an argument against it, but it is clearly more weighted towards a sci-fi movie. But we are talking semantics, the only thing that is relevant is whether it belongs in the top 20 movies of the last 13 years and it really doesn't.

Ironically, Mark of the Vampire is a Tod Browning flick from the 30's. But I'm pretty sure even Browning would be struggling to compete with the movies of the 2000s, which all seem to have great acting and character development....
