Which brings me back round to how do you actually define a horror film? If it's one that could be scary to others, or one that is likely to scary this again makes it very subjective. It becomes very hard to draw the line for where movies move from another genre into horror, even badly executed horror. Is it done by a majority vote? But then as we've already seen something scary would not necessarily be considered horror, even by those that were scared by it.
So what is it that might set horror aside from say a thriller or suspense. And is a slasher a sub genre or something different? What about alien? Is that a sci-fi or a horror, or a sci-fi horror?
