I would have to hear a pretty decent case made for Seven and The Terminator to be added.

Its a classic Slasher plotline wrapped in sci-fi. If Alien is a horror movie, and it is, so is The Terminator. AI can say it better and faster than me though


Key reasons The Terminator is considered horror include:

Relentless Slasher Dynamics: The Terminator acts as a classic slasher villain: unstoppable, emotionless, and incapable of being reasoned with. It stalks its victims, creating high-tension, claustrophobic scenes.

The "Final Girl" Trope: Sarah Connor follows the classic 80s horror "final girl" archetype—a vulnerable woman who matures into a determined survivor.

Atmosphere of Dread: The film relies on a dark, gritty tone, with heavy shadows, 80s synth music, and a tense, terrifying atmosphere.

Body Horror and Monstrosity: The final reveal of the Terminator's endoskeleton as it relentlessly pursues Sarah (a machine acting like a living monster) fits squarely within the horror genre.

Violent, Unstoppable Threat: Scenes like the police station massacre and the murder of Sarah's roommate, Ginger, in her home, mimic the intimate violence found in slasher films.

Unlike its more action-oriented sequels, the original film's focus on survival against an unnatural, relentless force makes it a cornerstone of 1980s sci-fi horror




If that is not enough, Cameron has said himself that The Terminator was inspired by Michael Myers and Halloween.

Not sure if considered horror:
Misery
Aliens
Jaws

Yes to Misery and Jaws, Aliens is more a action movie. Alien is definitely a horror movie.

One was about the scene shown in the film, the other was about the bullying scene proper

and in neither one was he hung from a tree :lol:

quote:

---

If they adapt the iconic scene from the film, it will definitely be that.

---

Well, this is not a remake of the movies, its a more detailed remake of the books than the movies were.

quote:

---

They better hope there is no visible trees, lamp posts, gallows, or rafters in the background when they do the scene.

---

It will either be one of two things

1. there will be no tree
2. One of Lupin or Sirius will not be white, which i would have been much more ok with that than making Snape black. Their race does not matter and not described with as much detail as Snape is in the books.


Literallly the only people you could not have made black are Snape, Voldemort, or the Weasleys and the frickers made Snape black :lol:

Literally in the book

Literally isn't.

the movie may have made it look that way




But that isnt what happened in the book, he wasn't "hung from a tree"

This is more book accurate

The amount of time you spend on a message board tearing things down that you have no interest in is fricking pathetic. You really should do some self evaluation.
