I really like Black Swan, but have never considered it a horror film... I want to add it to my list now that you mention it, though!

I was thinking for these lists we would have a stricter definition of horror, we could discuss whether a film is a "horror" film. If we as a group determine that it is not, then it wouldn't be eligible.

The first film to face this tribunal is Black Swan apparently. What does everybody think? I think it could be considered a horror film, but it wouldn't break my heart if nobody else does.

Yeah I suppose there's a case for it to be called a horror film. You've got elements of body horror and Polanski crazy-lady-ness going on. Didn't stick it on my list though (I wasn't that won over by it tbh).

Knew as soon as I saw one other list I would spot a title I'd forgotten. It's The Devil's Backbone . . .
