Also, I just rewatched Predator (just my 2nd viewing since late 80s). It was an action film, and that action wasn't so exciting this time around. It wasnt as good as I remembered. The first time I watched it, I had very low expectations, and the ending surpassed those. I think Commando is a better film. = p

I think the director loves cab scenes. At least the one in Inferno is good as well.

Commando better than Predator? That's a tough pick. I believe I went to see Predator in theaters thinking it would just be a simple Arnold action movie. The monster element surprised me. Commando is just an awesome straight 80s action movie. I would pick Predator in a contest between the two just because of the series. I love Predator 2 as well. Those two movies are like Alien and Aliens to me. None of the sequels can touch them.

I can't remember if I posted this awesome Predator and Aliens collection here.

Also, this guy made a really good Predator poster. But I want to see both Predator 1 and 2 in a mirrored sort of way. He did that with his Blade Runner 1 and 2 posters.

Maybe you're right... ::big grin:: I havent seen Commando in a million years either. Maybe it won't be as impressive either. I did enjoy Pred, Im just placing it.

Those are cool posters. Like I was saying I havent seen Commando since the first time. It's on my re-list. I liked Blade Runner 2048, have to say it wasn't as memorable as the first. What'd ya think of 2048?

that spaceship hatch on the staircase ceiling is awesome!

Quarter Final Results:

7 Evil Dead II (1987)
3 Poltergeist (1982)

6 Night of the Living Dead (1968)
6 Psycho (1960)

9 Alien (1979)
3 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

8 The Exorcist (1973)
4 Suspiria (1977)

8 The Thing (1982)
4 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

I really didn't think I was going to have to vote on this one, but Psycho has produced a tie again (previously against Halloween). In the case of these two films, I think Psycho is more precise, but for the Horror genre I think NOTLD's realism makes for a greater horror punch. Night of the Living Dead (1968) + 1.

And now the Semi Final for the HDC 2020 Best Horror Film All-time Tournament...

These two matches are based on top seeding (which will be revealed at the end). There is a one-Vs-one match, and a three-Vs-three match.

Anyone on the forum is welcome to vote and comment. Comments and appeals for films are welcome!
It's your option to not vote on every film battle, if unsure, haven't seen them, whatever reason...
