I've been reading through the list of movies that are tagged as "horror" on IMDB, and I can't seem to figure out what IMDB considers "horror". There are just too many inconsistencies in their list.
For example:
Manhunter (1986) is tagged as "horror", but The Silence of the Lambs (1991), and the other Hannibal Lector movies are not.
Jaws (1975) is not tagged as "horror", but all of the sequels are.
Take Shelter (2011) is tagged as "horror", but I have no idea why.
My Best Friend Is a Vampire (1987) and Once Bitten (1985) are both tagged as "horror", but neither of the Teen Wolf movies are. (Are vampires supposed to be scarier than werewolves?)
In the past couple of weeks, I've watched about 25 "horror" movies for the upcoming countdown, but I can't figure out what a "horror" movie should be.
Can any of you horror experts shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance for your help.
