Is this Horror Sci-fi or Scifi Horror?


Aah, If i had spielberg's money and expertise, the world would worship me too. He always took ideas to the next 3 levels, somehow monopolizing the entertainment industry. But someday the world will see what his true intentions were...

I'd have said action adventure. The only real graphic scene is Gennaro getting eaten off the porcelain throne. Anything the dinosaurs do to each other is shown on any one of a dozen dinosaur documentaries on Discovery.

Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!

Could you vague that up for us? That's just way too explicit in what you mean.

Let's be bad guys.

I'd really call it a thriller, as opposed to horror. Action, adventure, certainly, and Sci fi, yes. Horror, not so much. It gets intense, but I don't think it's really trying to get a fearful reaction. It wants to put you on the edge of your seat.

I'd class it as Sci-Fi/Adventure to be honest. I don't see anything really "Horror" about Jurassic Park because it was simply never marketed as a horror movie.

reply

I guess Sci-Fi Horror. It feels more like a Sci-Fi film to me in general.

Huh?

Sci Fi/adventure with elements of horror, on my opinion.

reply

Yeah i'd say it depends on whether you find dinosaurs scary or not.
