I've gotta think this over now. We have 28 movies left. The next one has no entries in the top ten, I can safely remove my entire top ten from contention for elimination. That leaves 18. We also know that whatever is next got 11th place from at least one person (probably not more than that), so it has to be something that would appeal to SOMEONE'S tastes, but not so much as to make a top ten.

Now, I feel like, given just how low the score is for this movie, I'm going to make an assumption that this (and 27, which has a similar 296) wouldn't be a bigger name movie, just because I feel like some of the biggest names would inherently score just a little higher. Not necessarily saying any of those movies are good or warrant high praise...just that they're likely to get praise from SOMEONE. Especially when you consider that this list was curated by Snake, who is himself a major horror aficionado, so I have to imagine some movies received praise from him for their formation of franchises.

Next, I'm going to eliminate anything that I could reasonably consider "artsy", because there enough of the "art snob alliance" participating in this ranking that I could see several of these movies making a top ten in one way or another. This leaves me with only three potential movies on my list for what could possibly have managed to avoid EVERY top ten list for all thirteen rankers.

I look at the remaining three I have standing, and they're all more in the vein of a light-hearted sort of horror movie, which strike me as the kind of movies that could reasonably make eleventh place for one person while pissing everyone else off. And of those three, I'm more willing to let one skate at this point, just because it's possibly a nostalgia film for people of our age bracket. So I look at the last two, and I enjoyed both, but I also have a penchant for goofy nonsense that would hardly be considered high cinema...so I'm gonna change my prediction from Tetsuo to Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I hope I'm wrong and Tetsuo was too much even for the artsy crowd, but I just can't imagine anyone truly ranking Killer Klowns in a top ten.
