| I'm having a debate with a colleague of mine about the following word order: Should it be: A short horror film competition Or: A horror short film competition He says that the first word order means it's a short competition not a short horror film. I disagree and think that his second option is wrong and has the adjectives in the wrong order. Please can someone advise what is grammatically correct? Thanks very much K |

| I'd say 'short horror film'- it's a short version of a horror film. |
