Do you mean in general or just with this flick? In my opinion there is a line between horror and sci-fi, just not with this movie :)

There is indeed a very clear division between SF and horror. This movie, as well as the films that Zero mentioned, just happens to blur the lines a little. Anyway, I'm glad to see more fans of this underrated movie. I too could watch this one over and over again.

This is one of several films Anderson films on
my dvd shelf. Sometimes it makes me wonder
why I decided to have it in the first place. It
only takes one viewing to remind me...

On a sidenote, it was very annoying to watch
Anderson in the AvP extras talking about how
much he wanted to "improve" on the effects
of Predator. Mo-mo-betta isn't always better.

I'm glad to see there are others that really like this movie. It is on my top ten list.

Like others, I believe that there is a firm line between Sci-Fi and Horror. However, this is one of the very few movies that mix the two "sub-genres" perfectly (Alien and The Thing as mentioned in other posts).

It wasn't a bad movie but I just really wasn't into it so much. Could've been better.

The ending was pretty lame though. I usually don't care for those dream-something-bad-happens type endings where they wake up so it's either just a bad dream or perhaps a premonition?
