Who knows what else they are voting on, that they haven't seen? If it's OK to do it for Twilight, it must be OK to do so for other films...

Don't tell me how to vote, my fellow countrymen. I already explained in meticulous detail my voting system. I am voting on the quality of the recommendation, not because of how classic or popular a movie is. So I'm a troll if I don't give Evil Dead an automatic +3 just because it is a classic? Twilight isn't even horror, so of course I would give that a -3. This is a horror draft.

Recommending me a horror film.. one that is underrated or that I didn't know of, will get a positive score from me no matter what. Even if I see it and don't like it. This to me, is what these drafts should be about, finding out about different horror films, not just the classics that everybody knows about. I want to give a chance to more obscure movies.

If that makes me a troll, then what a shitty world this has become. You people don't want to put any effort into anything and just do the same old thing over and over. To hell with that.. and again, stop telling me how to vote.

Well, it's been quite some years since I've seen it, but I've always remembered it as a childhood favorite and it has never once struck me as a horror movie.

I haven't seen Critters, but I will rate Shaun of the Dead as a horror movie. Zombies ripping people to threads and eating them = horror.

How is a movie about little monsters terrorizing a town not a horror movie?

Then you must be batshit insane. Even IMDB lists it as horror. How dare you make up your own mind on how to vote on a movie. How dare you have an opinion of your own that isn't the majority. You must be a troll!

Well, fuck, that's awesome. Always nice to see some love.


I'll get around to voting later. I procrastinate everything.
