Silence of the Lambs, Oldboy, Jaws, Seven... none of these are horror. Just because there are elements in a film that are horrific does not automatically lead to it belonging in the horror genre. There is a world of difference between the nature of these films, which I do catagorise as thrillers, and their villians. Horror villians are not confined by the reasonable realms of reality or probability. Thrillers, while they may contain the same elements of horror, are stories essentially grounded within worldly sensibilities. Just my opinion....

Oh - and gremlins is nothing but a great kids film. To call it horror is just laughable.
