I like the definition of a horror film made specifically to elicit fear from its audience, but I can't really accept 'thriller' eing used for films more about their characters, since that seems like any 'good' horror films would get put in that category. The Exorcist is as much about the priest's struggle as it is about a little girl's head spinning, but I can't think of anybody that will call it a thriller. <br /><br />My biggest problem comes when actors and film critics use the term 'thriler' simply as a cover, as if horror is such a dirty word that no A-list actor or 4 star film could possibly fall under its definition.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736156794348437082.post-84668884117424803542010-01-05T20:53:12.692-06:002010-01-05T20:53:12.692-06:00BUT Scary Movie 3 is GENIUS!

I sometimes find it hard to make the distinction between horror and thriller and I'm happy to see someone just come right out and state their opinion. <br /><br />But<br /><br />I will have to take issue with your comment about comedy and horror. I firmly place Shawn of the Dead and Zombieland in horror because, though light, they still address the same themes, both visual and vicseral, as their serious counterparts. <br /><br />You are right, though, Scary Movie is best left alone.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642666971813301743noreply@blogger.com
