I'll see how much Amazon are charging for Jigoku, Onibaba and Hausu. If they aren't too expensive i'll give them a go.

The Bad Seed is really quite fantastic though, I'd put your feelings aside and watch this.


Hausu is just too amazing.


I know it's rude to jump into someone else's conversation but I can't help myself.

Personally I don't think it would even quite make my Top 100 even though I really do like the film.

Not at all, that's what forums are about.

Same. It didn't make mine either.

(As I type this, Nos is already planning to kidnap and restrain us Clockwork Orange style in front of an endless loop of The Exorcist)

Oh i don't know. Many on here seem to think Cannibal Holocaust is the greatest thing since sliced bread, same goes for the dirge that is Martyrs.

Some of the films on them are actually pretty good, it's mainly some of the others that are on there coupled with the ordering/ones that are missing that makes for some quite awful lists. Also some of the list choices just scream '15 year old horror fan who hasn't seen many films'.
