I bet there are a lot of factors: will we make more money if this is "horror" or are "thrillers" more lucrative right now? ... also director's preference? (or whoever) ...<br /><br /><br />Personally I think it's intent. If you want someone to go in thinking horror, you label it that way. If you want someone to pay attention to, say, cool visuals, it might be supernatural thriller? As for Hunger Games that one was more about the characters (the love story and such) than their setting. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anywho ... that's my 2 cents.<br /><br /><br />Also that movie Awakenings, that is horrifying. And wasn't there a twilight zone or tales from the crypt like that? A man is proclaimed dead but is actually alive and can feel the autopsy beginning?TS Hendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965357024150434808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-4439058709553124892013-10-23T00:46:02.496-05:002013-10-23T00:46:02.496-05:00No

Escape Plan could have been good, but I don't buy them as action heroes anymore.

Movies such as Saw I classify as torture-porn.<br />And Battle Royal makes Hunger Games look lame in comparison.TS Hendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965357024150434808noreply@blogger.com
