SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 102
The rules:
In Round 1, I'm going to put up three randomly selected scenes from the nomination thread. You'll vote for your ONE favorite scene among the three. The key here is FAVORITE. We're not talking about the 'best' or 'most powerful' or 'most meaningful'. We're talking about the scene that you most enjoy watching, however you define that. The winners will move on. I'll also take the 10 highest-scoring second-place scenes and they'll advance as wild cards. Some of our nominations did not include clips. This will be noted. If you find a clip, please post it and let me know so I can update it if it moves on. |

My votes in another weak heat:
#1 - The Count of Monte Cristo. I'm not hugely into dark lighting and improbable escapes, but this one was okay. In most heats it wouldn't win, but in this heat I would probably vote for a blank screen as #1 over the other two scenes. #2 - The Blair Witch Project. By the time that scene ended, I was absolutely terrified that I would someday have to watch a whole movie like that. #3 - Anchorman. So ... someone wrote this scene, and they acted it out, and they thought it was good enough to keep in the movie? Really? Blech.

Tomorrow. I post one heat per day, so that we may watch, ponder, savor, discuss, and then vote.

Anyone voting for Blair Witch should stab themselves in the face.

Witch actually seems like one of the rare horror movies that would get your #1 RainMan... its not the least bit gory, the terror is in the suspense as these kids go from somewhat lost, to confused, to scared to death and finally to TRAPPED.
This is a CLASSIC horror flic IMO, right up there with The Shining, its easy to get queasy from Saw-type movies... but when a movie can induce fear simply from circumstances of the characters and build tension with only subtle cues and minimal blood? THATS a good horror movie. |

I remember seeing "The Hills Have Eyes" one Halloween a few years back. It was kind of gory, but at the same time it was pretty engaging from a pure freak show perspective.

I'd heard so many good things about it, and then I was in a hotel when it came on, so I was like "Score!". I lasted about 20 minutes. Wow, that movie is terrible.
