wrong forum mate, this is a horror movie, should be over at

http://forum.dead-donkey.com/

[Blade Runner]

I would'nt call this horror at all even though IMDb does, however they do call the sequel Sci-Fi

[maxpayne2409]

im not trying to be picky but i think most people would call this horror, still its your call... or the mods lol

[Blade Runner]

Let the Mods decide, i'll go with their decision

[mw2merc]

This is definately more SciFi than Horror. It is listed as 'thriller' on Amazon, not horror. It's not horror just cause it's based on a Stephan King book.

Reasons:
mental powers/psychic abilities
secret government experiment
chemical called LOT-6
secret government department known as "The Shop"
pyrotechnics

No suspense, no gore, no monster, no maniac, ... so where's the horror?

Those were the criteria I used to call it Sci-fi
