"The Movie version of 'Until Dawn' will feature different characters and a different story from the source material."

THEN THAT'S NOT A MOVIE VERSION OF UNTIL DAWN THATS JUST A MOVIE

One of my favorite (and most unbelievable) tropes in horror is how, at the start of a sequel, people are somehow skeptical of whatever supernatural entity was *clearly* established to exist in the first movie...

Examples: [Cont]

These answers are based entirely on my gut reaction and don't necessarily make any sense.

Is It Horror?

Round One:

Donnie Darko- No.
Gremlins- Yes.
Gremlins 2- Also yes.
Wicker Man- Believe it or not, yes.
Renfield- No. It's a workplace comedy.
Jaws- Yes (subcategory of creature-feature)
Army of Darkness- No. It's a swashbuckling action adventure.
Coraline- No, but I could be swayed

I've decided to move all of my "Is it horror" threads to over here, just in case I delete my Threads account in the next few days.

Does it matter that there's a record of my completely arbitrary binary ranking of a bunch of silly movies? Not really. I mean, the country is on fire... but here we go.

Okay, for my first post, I'd like to do another round of "Is it horror?"

The rules are simple. I name a movie, then tell you if I think it's horror.

Annihilation - Yes
Se7en - No
Ernest Scared Stupid - Yes
Alien - Yes
Predator - No
Alien Vs Predator - Also No
Freddy Vs Jason - Yes
The Mummy - No
