Live Poll: The Horrors of War

thank you, i'm gonna update the introduction and find some more films, but should i delete this suggestion and create another one or just leave it here after i update it?

@Danacki​ No, you don't want to delete this thread, as it has a history of posts, feedback and shows the discussion's progression. You can update the title and the poll header (top original post) by clicking the three dots on the upper right and clicking edit, so there is no need to delete it, only to edit and update it. Plus, it would be very confusing with multiple threads on the same topic, so one poll suggestion thread is always better.

FYI, there are plenty of films to choose from, you just need to double-check them to make sure they belong in answer pool, as sometimes they are genre-tagged incorrectly. IMHO, I think the classic J'accuse! (1919) should be on the list, as it is one of the first Horror-War films and the highest IMDb-rated film in the subgenre.

@ACT_1​ sorry, i had to turn it private to fix some stuff, now you should be able to see it.

May be easier to read your graphic text if you made is smaller ??

Just grab a corner and shrink it

I will delete this later

@urbanemovies​ Hello, i updated the description of the list for one that i believe fits better after looking at most films on the list. Also, i think that (most) horror films with post-war settings are valid for this list since the effects of war keeps "haunting" places and people after the ending of a war, so it ends up being related to war (though it's not necessarily a war film), i don't know if you agree with that but i'd like to know what you think.

About films about soldiers, such as The Hills Have Eyes 2 or Dog Soldiers, i don't know if they really combine with the theme, in both films, the goup of soldiers are training for a war (obviously), but the war is not the scary thing here, or there's no actual effect on the horror (unless you consider the nucler testings that created the cratures in The Hills Have Eyes 2). I removed Army of the Dead, since it's not about a real war, and i really don't know if Dead Snow fits in all that's been said before (the second one definitively doesn't). 

Thank you for your comments, you're helping me a lot here :) 

@Danacki​ I think we are the same page across the board. I think the post-war horror movies w/PTS have flashback scenes, so I am for their inclusion. I also agree the war aspects clause alone with allow for the types of titles that  fit in a slightly wider "war" scope, so the question is perfect as is. I also agree horror movies with soldiers outside of war settings should be excluded. You check the plots on Wikipedia, but these four movies fall outside the scope as you have defined it.

Text Edits

Please make the following corrections to your text.

1) wrap around the first, second and third sentence to form a single paragraph.

2) replace the comma with a period after chaotic and capitalize the T in the following "The"

3) remove the "a" between "of" and "these"

4) remove the extraneous period after the question mark in your question.

5) (optional) I reworked your last sentence, if you like it better, feel free to use it. Yours is direct, mine is a more explanatory, it comes down to a matter of preference.

6) (optional) I like to bold my questions to make them stand out. You can if you want​ by placing a [b] before and [/b] after the question to turn the bold feature on and off (see below).

​Wars can be frightening, thrilling and sadly chaotic. The post-effects of these events can haunt a person or a place for a long time afterwards. When combined, these elements elevate the suspense and tension in a horror film to take it to the next level.​

​[b] Which of these war (or with war aspects) horror films is your favorite? [/b]

I think these changes will wrap things up, unless another poll maker sees an error, or another valid answer options pops up that could be added to the answer pool of twenty-three options (after deletions).

@urbanemovies​ @Peter_pbn fixed the text errors and added the two last suggestions. Primeval should definitely be in this list since it's set at Burundi's civil war, and Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter fits perfectly, thanks.

@Danacki​ I agree. I looked to see if I could find any more unlisted films, but struck out. I am sure there are others or there will be new releases in the war-horror subgenre. If and when this poll goes live, you can add to the answer pool later with a date next to the added option. Plus, twenty-five options is ideal, IMHO. It's not too long or too short, so everyone can find a title that they have seen to vote for. Plus, with ten spots still available (35 total), it allows you to add if you missed an option or add new releases to keep the poll current. Save any other suggestions, I feel good about the readiness of this poll suggestion.

I still see one minor error though. You need to either use a period after "chaotic" or uncapitalize "The" after the semi-colon.

Wars can be frightening, thrilling and sadly chaotic; the post-effects of these events can haunt a person or a place for a long time afterwards.
