No joke. Some might disagree because of all the blood and violence, psychological hits, or anything gross. Some features are: blood and gore, crude scenes, death, some sex scenes, a lot more death, a twist usually at the end, foreshadowing who or what the killer is, mental and physical torture and violence . See? Horror movies don't seem so bad, do they? Honestly, there are so many types of horror movies that some on Netflix are considered thrillers, but I don't think so. All horror films have that awful suspense that makes you want to vomit because the suspense is real and scary. Some recently released horror films are "The Conjuring 2 and Don't Breathe", some films can be realistic, such as based on real events. Some people might consider Jaws a horror movie because of all the blood and people are afraid of sharks. There is something about horror movies that makes a person want to watch more and dig deeper to find the ultimate horror movies. Like those based on real events but contain lots of blood and gore. People wonder if it really happened that way and if there was that much blood and gore. Horror films and romance films evolve into a completely different universe that should never happen.
