Is Oldboy horror?
I think the waters can get very muddied when the film's feet are in both camps. Its always going to be speculative to people whether or not a film is more of one genre or the other, especially when adding elements of the supernatural etc. As I think many would agree a film could be both two people could both legitimately say the same film is a thriller with horror elements or a horror with thriller elements. However, when a film is missing what I view as including traditional facets of horror, such as Silence of the Lambs for example, I would be interested in someone who believes it to be in the horror genre to persuade me why beyond 'horrible things happen'.
Just to throw an extra spanner into the works... does anyone really see something like Shaun of the Dead as a horror film? To me thats a comedy with horror elements. But I'm sure plenty feel otherwise...
