Next Round, And Why A Serbian Film Is Not In This Competition

Next Round will go up sometime tomorrow around 11 AM or noon, eastern time. I will post the match-ups in here later on today.

Also, I've gotten a few PMs recommending A Serbian Film for this tournament, or asking why it's not in competition here. Here's a two part answer:

1) It hasn't even had a proper DVD or theatrical release in America (I don't think it has in Britain or Australia either), and I seriously doubt it ever will see a release in the English-speaking world.

2) A Serbian Film's shock value relies solely on extremely taboo subjects that even I, a horror/exploitation enthusiast, find distasteful. I will not get into those taboos here, as I don't want to be electronically monitored by the FBI.

 

I'm starting on the next round now. There were two ties last round, so I'm implementing a rule right now that allows me to be a tiebreaker. With that establishes, Hostel and The Begotten advance to the next round.

Here are the match-ups:

Martyrs vs. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Gummo vs. Bully
Irreversible vs. The Untold Story
In My Skin vs. The Begotten
Inside vs. Hostel
Zombi vs. The Hills Have Eyes
Aftermath vs. Cannibal Holocaust
Ichi The Killer vs. Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom
