Tony, I wouldn't spend too much time trying to categorize these movies. People often argue that Alien isn't even a horror movie because of its sci-fi elements, yet others often list as one of (if not THE) scariest movie of all time. So who's right? Who cares! It is a great movie.
The Passion is another that certainly can be viewed a few different ways. Devout Christians would consider it first and foremost a history. Atheists would say it is a fantasy. Certainly, many horror fans consider it to be a sadistic gore film. Who's right? Who cares!
