i liked undead very much its a all around good zombie movie and with very nice effect to be a budged movie, this movie u can see that they can make acceptable blood gore effects and dont need to use the computer gfx cheap way becouse they make a budget movie... Steven Spielberg has something to learn here i think, just look at the raped new starwars movies that he puke out... this movie set the stander for gore effect in the 2003 and years to come. very nice done and i expect that horror movie makers dont go for less quality gore effect...

You'd probably find what you're looking for if you change the word 'classification' for 'genre'

e.g. A quick search on Google for 'Horror movie genres" gave loads of results, here's one for a start.... http://www.webhorror.com/genres/genres_index.html

Facets of life advisable to steer clear of. Yet when it comes to entertainment, the creation of drama, they are ideal. And so we have the horror genre: fear, terror, dread taken to extremes...<br><br>Since man began telling stories, horror has existed. It taps into something primal; life and, particularly, death issues. In many ways it is the purest from of cinema - your reaction isn't emotional or intellectual but physical, a knee-jerk jolt of fear, revulsion or relief. And so movies have mapped it's shadowy corridors, it's bloody chambers and, in more recent times, it's high schools and teen bedrooms. Moviemakers have been enticed by the genre, it allows them to express strong themes and indulge in shocking visuals: from the stark brilliance of Nosferatu to the glowing melodrama of the Universal classics (Dracula, Frankenstein et al) through the camp vigour of Hammer to the rough and ready American indies (Night of the Living Dead). Slasher movies (A Nightmare on Elm Street) dismembered the teen movie, while recently the genre has taken inspired diversions into satirical, self-referential side streets (Scream, Fight Club).<br><br>In this, the second in our ongoing celebration of movie genres, Empire has probed, autosied cunjured up and brought back from the dead the 50 greatest horror movies ever.

1 - Creature Features
Since time immemorial at the dark heart of folklore has lurked the malevolent bogeyman - a fantastic monster that preys on mortal man. Moviemakers were quick to exploit the cinematic potential of such ghouls, from the myth of the vampire - typified by numerous takes on Bram Stoker's Dracula - to Frankenstein's tragic Monster, to lycanthropes howling at the moon and George Romero's Shambling brain-guzzling zombies. Hitchock even transformed little birds into frenzied killers all have revolted us, scared us and captivated us in equal measure, making the creature feature the pivotal genre in the shadowy history of horror</I>

2 - Nightmare Movies
There are some horror films in which the supermatural is more elusive but their depiction of stranger, darker places they cannot escape the clutches of the genre. Nightmare Movies hint at innocent corrupted, minds framenting and the deep perversion of humanity, from the prevading evil and looming tragedy of Don't Look Now to the bleak cruelty of Witchfinder General, to the cannibal craziness of The Hills Have Eyese. Videodrome focused its surreal horror on the emergent video culture of the '80s, while The Blair Witch Project, a raw and terrifying antidote to slick Hollywood shockers, proved itself a horror movie for the ne millenium.</I>

3 - Hauntings
The existence of ghosts, restless spirits of the undead, has long troubled scientists and excited storytellers. Traditionally, the unsettled dead are a territorial bunch, confining their hauntings to castle ramparts and old dark houses. On celluloid th've been given a free rein. The best movie ghost sotries are sophisticated psychological chillers. The Haunting and The Sixth Sense subtly probe the human experience, while Poltergeist adopts a more fullon terror campaign. Candyman, one of the most original ghost stories ever brought to the screen, is a truly weird, class-related tale of revenge from beyond the grave.</I>

4 - Slasher Movies
Ever since Hitchock consigned Janet Leigh to the plughole of history in Psycho, no self-respecting studio has let a year go by without a slasher movie on its roster. Deom gleefully wanton, supernatural incarnations such as dreamstalker Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, to the all-too real Henry in John McNaughton's documentry styled portrait of his eponymous serial killer, the blood has flowed with unnerving refularity. Nevertheless, it is a seminal, contrasting pair that is still way ahead of the pack: Hitch's brilliant, darkly comic masterpiece and John Carpenter's Halloween, the indelible blueprint for the modern slasher flick.</I>

5 - Diabolic
For all the evil that men do, there is still nobody who does it better than the main man, the guv'nor, tha baddest boy on the block: Satan. And his malevolent meddlings in the affairs of men have long provided rich pickings for the filmmaker's febrile mind. The Omen fabrivated a Biblical basis for the arrival of the Antichrist, the taut paranoia of Rosemary's Baby traced a similar course for the demon seed, whilse Hellraiser took a fantastical jaunt to a hideous, gory vision of Hell itself. But the big kahuna of Diabolical movies surely remains William Friedkin's head=spinning, pea soup-spewing masterpiece, The Exorcist. Hallelujah, indeed.</I>

6 - Psychomania
Nightmares in damaged brains? Truth, or the wild rantings of a disintegrating mind? Psychological horror treads a disturbing path through the cerebral synapses, leading us down twisting paths of tortured thoughts to murder, mayhem and madness. Be it the evil possession of men, from the Overlook Hotel's dark hold on the shattered Jack Torrance in The Shining or the whirling, kinetic charge of Evil Dead 2. Be it Carrie's pubescent, telekenetic powers; the mind games locked deep within The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, or the corrosive social atire of Fight Club, head trips are rarely more intense. Let the ride begin.</I>

7 - Comic Horror
At face value, the grim netherworld of horror, with its panoply of death, torment and pain is hardly ripe with comedic opportunity. But still, killing jokes abound, movies in which directors have fused the darkest of sensibilities to razor-sharp wit. To wit: Gremlins, lulling its audience with cutesy Capra-corn smalltown Americana before bursting into whacko subversion; An American Werewolf In London, by turns genuinely scary and ingeniously funny, blurring the boundaries like never before. And on a more modern, or - eeek! - postmodern tack Wes Craven's Scream, simultaneously sending-up and rejuvenating the high school slasher flick</I>

I gave up pondering this question a long time ago, sure there are genres like slasher, comedy horror, etc. But they also tend to bung a whole loada shit in the "Horror" brackets now, no offence to anyone that liked scream, but, to me, those films are not even close to horror, good films but sure as hell not horror in my eyes.

I think horror films in general have been watered down too much in the last decade, sure wrong turn was a great film, but it barely scraped in as a horror type film, same as most other so called horror films lately.

Personally I am more of a graphic violence type guy, all this psychological horror just bores me, I like to watch a horror film that has a decent, but not too deep, plot and mucho blood, guts, sex, titties and violence.

Just 2 pennies worth.

P.S. does anyone else think a horror film just aint right without some bird flashing her bristols and then being slashed/eaten to death 10 minutes later?
