I had 7 at 2...


There might be someone who wants an explanation of why Psycho is back at 13 or why you don't have The Wicker Man ect. ect. It's just a bunch of different opinions thrown together.

here is my list...from 6 to 25 in no particular order....strange Seven didnt do it better...

1.Alien
2.Seven
3.Angel Heart
4.Jaws
5.Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1978)
The Thing
Friday the 13th
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween
Jacobs Ladder
Final Destination 2
The Omen (orginal)
Ringu
Happy Birthday to me
Carrie
The Changeling
Scanners
Don't Look Now
The Faculty
Alligator
The Blob (remake)
The Shining (Kubrick)
Psycho 2
Phone (South Korea)
Tell Me Something (South Korea)

Why is Seven being considered a horror movie?

More Detective/Crime Thriller, I would have thought.

..serial killer movies belong in the horror genre...even "Silent of the Lambs" .....even if its more like a thriller

Hmmm.......

against my better judgement, here's my list, submitted in the wee hours of the morning half drunk and off the top of my head.

top 5:
5. Dracula
4. Night of the Living Dead
3. Halloween
2. Psycho
1. the Exorcist

in no particular order:
- Suspiria
- Friday the 13th
- Nightmare on Elm Street
- the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Nosferatu
- Demons
- Black Sabbath
- Evil Dead
- Blood Feast
- White Zombie
- the Shining
- the Amityville Horror
- Rosemary's Baby
- Opera
- Cannibal Holocaust
- Frankenstein
- Ju-On
- Dawn of the Dead
- Zombie (aka Zombi 2)
- Audition

L.A. Confidential and The Usual Suspects are more conventional detective/crime thrillers, but when films are done in the manner of 7 and Silence of the Lambs, it's more of a horror/drama. Horror, like other genres, have subgenres.

I think it's moving the goalposts a little too much so far as Seven as Silence of the Lambs go.

Yeh I agree. Those films are more in the territory of "psychological thriller" for me. Horror is a lot more gratitious when dealing with the subject matter (i.e Maniac, Deranged and Dressed To Kill). They definatley have elements of horror and are championed by genre fans but to me they aren't horror films.

Just a matter of opinion I guess.
