Phenomena not surpirsingly beats Demons and that ends the first round. Second round should be more interesting.
Second Round: Match 1
The Bird With The Crystal Plumage
vs.
Cat O' Nine Tails

Love Bird, on most days it's my fav Argento, but I haven't seen Cat O' Nine Tails.

Matt, Demons was kind of fun in a bad horror movie way, but Demons 2 stunk so bad it tainted the series. Kind of like Halloween 4-infinity.

Demons 2 might've tainted the series, but then they made The Church which made the series straight to hell in a handbasket. :)

I didn't realize The Church was another Demons sequel.
It's original title was Demons 3 (IIRC) and it follows a lot of the similarties of the previous two films, such as having large group of people being locked up in a large building, but I don't know if was meant to be a true sequel or not (I'm guessing not since there were no mentions made to the first films like how there was one in Demons 2).

I'm going to go ahead and advance Bird with only 2 votes because I doubt they'll be another one.
Second Round: Match 2
Deep Red
vs.
The Stendhal Syndrome

Deep Red bigtime. It stands with Suspiria and Bird as my 3 favorites, on a higher tier than the rest.
As a father, Dario directing Asia in multiple rape scenes really creeps me out. For me, it's easily his worst film and the only one I don't like, but I haven't seen any of his other 90's movies that have even weaker reputations.

Dario is one of the most disturbing individuals I've ever heard of. Just look at that Dario's world of horror or something. I don't remember the title, Wes Ray showed it to me one day, and I was never the same. :laugh:

My internet connection was a bit screwed up for the last couple of days so that's why I haven't been here. Anywho, we need atleast one more vote because we got a tie with 2 votes!!
