We learn a buttload about him despite his brief time on camera. And I think it's done really well. He's from the era where having the ultimate badass monster with no real weaknesses was actually fun and scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they're both the epitome of thrillers, and should be the type of thrillers all aspire to be. But they count as horror for this poll. So both should be recognized.

Do people question the genre manhunter is in? have a hard time considering that a 80s horror. That is fine, everyone is different but I found that movie to be very scary and that main villain to be creepy as hell. Just because it is a crime mystery film does not mean it is not a horror movie. What a movie with a solid storyline and a plot is automatically not a horror movie? No thank you. Is the movie thrilling or horrifying? Guess it depends on what scares you, and that will make it either a thriller or a horror movie I suppose. I would say Prisoners and Locke were thriller movies, did not horrify but were thrilling interesting movies especially Prisoners. Some scary parts in Prisoners but not horrifying by any means, scary subject matter sure. To make it more clear that thriller category should have been gone away with, and put into either Horror or action/thriller categories but sure he needed 8 for the tournament so needed the thriller category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Tremors absolutely. It's amazing that it has at least four sequels. Google defines Scream and Silence of the Lambs as horror so I'll throw those in. Edited February 19, 2020 by Bullet Club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhunter was much more suspense than the others of the series after it. They became actually kinda scary after the original. Definitely got darker.

The dude in Manhunter was way creepier, Red Dragon the remade version of Manhunter with a twist, I found that to be more tame and less scary than the original Manhunter. By the way say Hopkins was Lecter in Manhunter instead of Bryan Cox who was nothing great and a pretty tame Lecter, the original Manhunter in general would be looked on different potentially. PS Hannibal I did not like and thought it was really quite bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Hannibal I did not like and thought it was really quite bad. Hopkins made Hannibal. No doubt. If anyone else played him, or the original guy played him in the sequels, the series dies. But Manhunter felt more suspenseful to me than the following movies. Maybe because I saw Hopkins do it before I went back and watched the original.

Calvert28 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The original ideas that came out in the 90s is almost a shame that they weren't able to make those movies with the tehlchnology of today. So many great ideas. I have to do a list but it is long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 2 hours ago, Ozzy said: Silence of the Lambs The Blair Witch Project Jacob's Ladder Funny Games Candyman Scream It Storm of the Century Two of those are "TV mini-series" but still on film and of movie length so I put them in. Well Storm of the Century is 4+ hours but whatever, worth a nod. Considered The Sixth Sense, Misery and Se7en Thriller/mystery category but that could be up for debate with those potentially. Absolutely consider Silence of the Lambs a horror movie 100%. If not this entire time period freaking sucks like I have said before, Jacob's Ladder or The Balir Witch Project will win otherwise. Are you talking the crap remake? That was 2010 I thought and the original A Nightmare on Elm Street is 1984, that is a classic. Didn’t realize we were going by decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Silence of the Lambs is a thriller yall, common. Se7en too. I would nominate Scream, because it's iconic, but most of the other huge ones from that decade sucked IMO. Coppola's Dracula I actually like, and would also nominate. Event Horizon, Ravenous, and Mimic too. Mimic scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, but I really liked bugs at the time. I'm surprised to not see Sixth Sense on people's lists. If we're arguing Silence and Se7en, you'd think it would be in the same category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
