Wonderful. The poster trying to argue that no one posts in his movie threads giving a completely pointless answer to an honest question.
As for the question, IMDB lists the reasons for being rated R as "violence & horror." I'd have to agree, as a spurting blood pit fight between Bruce Campbell and an undead seems to fit the description.
As to why it's considered horror, it's an age old debate that many movies go through. I'd consider it just as much horror as I would Dead/Alive (aka Braindead) or Return of the Living Dead. Such great movies as Silence of the Lambs, Jaws & Se7en have went through the same machine for different reasons.
I didn't draw any lines as to what was considered horror in the HDC Top 100s for this reason. Draw your line where you stand, just remember that because you do others aren't necessarily wrong.
