how is this classified as Horror???


its good but i wouldn't call it horror its more of a violent survivalist thriller

if this is horror then why isn't straw dogs labelled as horror

reply

Due to the tone, the atmosphere, the gore, and the occasional jump scare.

For what it's worth, I consider both Green Room and Straw Dogs to be horror, as the genre is very broad.

I guess cos the band find themselves in a pretty horrifying situation.

A maniac in a hockey mask chasing kids around and killing in over the top goofy ways is horror, and this isn't?

The film description might be mistakenly classified from the adjective horrible.

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

Horror is not a genre...it's an emotion.

The impending doom you feel as this movie goes along is pretty terrifying. The violence is brutal, and really sticks with you.

It's not the normal horror movie, but it most definitely has horror elements.
