word order

[katspie]

Hi

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

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