    • Críticas de cine

What truly defines a horror movie? Is it the chill down your spine, the monster under the bed, or something far more elusive? Join Mr. Sir and Antheny in this thought-provoking episode of Horror Dork as they explore the edges of horror cinema.



Dive deep into the murky waters of "Not Quite Horror" films—those cinematic enigmas that tease the horror itch without fully scratching it. From the superhero shadows of Darkman to the psychological mazes of Perfect Blue, and the fantastical horrors of Pan's Labyrinth, they'll dissect what elements borrow from horror, what sets them apart, and why they resonate with fans of the genre.



Some points of discussion this episode include:

Yuppie Nightmares & Beyond: How movies like Raising Cain and Bad Influence tap into real-world terrors without the supernatural.

The Del Toro Effect: A look at Guillermo del Toro's unique blend of fantasy and horror, and how his films challenge traditional boundaries.

Sci-Fi Scares: Where do films like Terminator, Predator, and Jurassic Park fit in the horror spectrum with their blend of science fiction and terror?

What Makes a Horror Movie?: Mr. Sir and Antheny get personal, sharing what elements make a horror movie in their eyes and sparking a debate on the essence of fear.

Plus: Lots of Killer Klowns From Outer Space talk!!

This episode is not just a discussion; it's an exploration of how horror can be found in the least expected places and the myriad forms it takes to unsettle us. Whether you're a purist who craves the classic scare or someone who finds horror in the tension of a thriller, this episode's exploration of The Grey Zone promises to open up new perspectives on what truly makes a movie horror.



Tune in, share your thoughts, and join us as we peel back the layers of cinema's most chilling question: What Makes a Horror Movie? Only on Horror Dork, where every town has an elm street.
