Slumdog millionaire
I believe in the expressions cannibal holocaust and stoneman murders, cannibal and stoneman serve the function of adjectives and that's the reason they are not written in plural here. Am I correct? And would you describe them compund nouns?
I found the expression slumdog millionaire awkward (as I have found the movie - one of the most overrated movie of recent past). I think that slumdog is used as an adjective because millionaire can only function as a noun, therefore it can only be slumdog which is modifying the noun. Does it make any sense?

I am not familiar with cannibal holocaust or stoneman murders, but your statement is generally correct about nouns-as-adjectives being cast in the singular, and it is the same for Slumdog Millionaire. Millionaire too can function as an adjective of course in other contexts: my millionaire grandfather.

Hi Mr Micawber
It's nice to hear from you. I thought you were on some kind of vacation. Cannibal holocaust is a worth watching movie but caution should be taken because it contains material which can be VERY disturbing to many individuals. Stoneman murders was a movie made on the series of murders which took place in India in 1980's.
Thank you very much for the help.
