You do understand that there is plenty of exploitation that is horror as well right? Would we have the same movies on both lists? How do you take an exploitation film and decide it doesn't belong on a horror list? The line becomes blurred, ESPECIALLY when you look at the definition of horror.

violent action films
martial arts films
revenge films


i've been on at least 5 major 'Horror' forums and have found that exploitation flicks were very muched discussed on every single one of them because the overlap in theme, atmosphere, and interest. It is undeniably entwined with 'pure horror' around our film sensibilities.

and nothing reflects this more than the asian market.

realistically .... with 'pure horror' - pure asian horror - even a top 50 would be pushing it ... the last 25 would be mediochre at best.

this is to be a list of films we use to recommend to each other - it might as well include all the films that horror fans would appreciate.

best suggestion yet

Yes... it's a fine suggestion... but can we please wait until we have all the lists in and see which movies are questionable based on genre before jumping to any conclusion? Is that possible? Everybody is so worked up over nothing, especially when you've seen the great recommendation lists that I've seen...

No



Deadline for lists is March 1st and same for judge nominations. PM both to me before the 1st so we can get this up and running ASAP.



Once again, all nominations for judges AND movies MUST BE IN BY THE FIRST.

Of course. There would obviously be some overlap, but I think the majority could really be broken out. Not all exploitation is horror and vice versa. I know what the definition of horror is, but what is considered horror film is rather different as it's less subjective.

i would say that horror is a subset of exploitation myself

Some of the films at least especially the trashier titles. I wouldn't consider the slick big studio titles like The Exorcist and The Omen exploitation.
