Repetitive as in dull.

I used to use actors / directors and single years when i'd run out of ideas. You've done the last three weeks at least like this.

Usually when a new subject is posted someone quickly posts a list. Two hours later and nothing.

I'm not saying you are wrong or indeed right, just that i think it a bit dull and samey.

You could be right, but I have been impressed by the high number of lists which have been posted over the last few weeks where there have been two topics: one mainstream and one specifically horror.

If your feeling is shared by others – if it is, please say so – I'll have a think and try and come up with something a bit more imaginative for next week.

In terms of the low number of lists posted so far (none as yet), it might help if I went first!

The year topic is quite a broad range (Might be dominated by Euro horror) so with that in mind i'm not sure you needed Michael Caine as well this week.

I suppose the number of films which will need to be considered for a 2000-2009 horror top 10 means another one is unnecessary. I'll go back and change the original post so that's the only topic. Thanks for the feedback.

Not this week – the only one is the horror films from 2000-2009. In 19 idea to save the list somewhere so you have a head start for when I do use it as a topic!

Mirrors 2 was basically a remake of it, but wasn't keen on it I watched One Missed Call original and went off Japanese movies, till I watched Infection, was going to put that in my list but it's more psychological movie than horror.

I haven't seen Infection, but will see where it's available.

Sticking with Asian horror, I have One Missed Call, A Tale of Two Sisters, Dark Water, The Eye, Thirst, Pulse, R-Point, Three Extremes, Dumplings, and Ju-on: The Grudge on my long list. Cutting it down from just over 50 to 10 is going to be really difficult.
