Definition of horror?
 

Just wondering what is considered horror, and what would be called horror, and what would be difined as thriller, or as something else. Like what would Gothika be? Ir Slience of the Lambs? For me, those sorta fall inbetween

Anything that scares the shit out of you.

Alot falls nill.

But what if a movie(IE 28 Days Later) is SUPPOSED to be scary, but doesnt scare you?

I'm past the getting scared stage myself, the best a movie can do for me now is shock the shit out of me. and very few in a long time have.

Im only a kid compared to most people here, ad I havent seen a movie that scared me sice I was like 5 or somthin....Blair Witch scared the shit outta me then, now itz just wierd

how old are you
