horror movie sequels

--- Quote from: Can You Feel Me on August 07, 2004, 08:44:27 PM ---exactly anyone who calls either predator or alien horror is a fuckin idiot. and the og ring sucked, fuck a sequel. blair witch and hell boy sucked balls and whoever created those movies should die. and hellboy isn't a horror movie anyways, unless you consider it so bad your scared to see the sequel. 28 weeks later sucked. I ain't really interested in any of those sequels. Nothing beats an 80's horror movie.

how can you say Alien isn't a horror? Do you even know what the genre is? Ridley Scott has described it as a horror so you're calling the film's director a fuckin idiot. You sound like you're thinking slasher is the only subgenre of horror.
again i will say that has the style and all the characteristics of a horror movie. genre is not solely concerning the plot. yes it has sci-fi elements but alot of horror movies do.
Frankenstein
Creature Of The Black Lagoon
King Kong
Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde
etc etc

alien is a sci fi plain and simple. Might as well put the terminator in horror if your gonna put alien in there. Is ET a horror film? do you know what science fiction is? Maybe the star wars trilogy should be considered horror. Afterall, that was pretty scary when Luke was fighting that big monster in Return of the Jedi. And Darth Vader is one of the scariest villains ever. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

that reply made no sense. I said Alien has the visual style and characteristics of a horror film and now youre trying to argue that i think all these other films are horrror as well. I never confused any science-fiction element as being horror so I'm not really sure what your trying to do. I understand what science-fiction is and I did state that Alien had sci-fi elements. All I'm arguging that calling Alien horror is valid. You seem to think Alien has no aspect of horror in it which is simply false. And you're also suggesting that horror is defined by how scary something is which can only indicate to me you get scared in 80s slasher films, you know little about horror as a genre as it is not simply defined by fear and you know little about genre in film.
and while I wouldn't classify The Terminator as horror it does borrow a few minor elements from it - the dark lighting, the skulls of humans and and skeletal appearance of the machine.

Doesn't that belong in the Sci-Fi category, because all those things you mentioned are "Science Fiction".
