Off the top of my head, I imagine that would be my number one, and Kill List my number 2 of that period . . .

Probably not - more of a revenge drama. Very depressing film . . .

Nice to see Excision getting some love there. As you can see, I liked it a whole lot.

[Slippery Jack]

I did like it, though I found the dream sequences way too art directed, and for me detracted from the rest of the film . . .

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I agree with about 80% of your choices there SJ.

I see you placed The Last Winter but no Wendigo.

I would place Dead Snow in my top 10.

No love for Dog Soldiers either?

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

Decent list, SJ.

Although I can't 'like' it, as I refuse to 'like' anything that has Shaun of the Dead in it, I'm afraid.

I'll try and post some lists to bore/titillate the fine folks who frequent this thread tomorrow.

Wendigo would probably be 41.

Nah, didn't like it apart from the odd bit of fun gore here and there. Found the setup way too bland, and the characters discussing horror movies was so cringingly on the nose...

Nah, a bit too 'Lad Horror' for me . . .
