In reply to: Creature Feature horror lesson posted by anthro_domer
"Creature Feature" sounds awfully akin to "Killer Animal."
That being said, I don't think "dolls" are either animals or creatures in the conventional sense.
I don't dispute that Jaws is ultimately a horror movie. But if we're slicing an dicing things here, it doesn't belong in this category. Nuclear monsters? Giant mutants attacking cities? Aliens? Sure. Jaws? No.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not just some ordinary shark that eats someone and then swims off into oblivion.
I fail to see the difference between a movie about an entirely fictitious monster (e.g., Creature from the Black Lagoon) and a movie about a non-fictitious creature given fictitious, monster-like qualities.
That I consider it a creature.
Also, I couldn't think of another category it goes in. So there's that.
