Bottom line, I think there are a lot of reasons why it's easy to miss the horror in Natural Born Killers -- either due to the wide variety of styles, including black humor, action and drama, or because of the non-horror social themes, both overt and subtle. But if you peel away some of the complexity and diversion, IMO the film is horror, even at its core.

Geez you won me over. Thats a lot to think about. I'm definitely gonna be thinking about all you said the next time i watch it. Maybe i'll come out with a different perspective.
