There is a theoretical-esoteric argument for Jaws, but not Cabin in the Woods, which is a meta horror comedy.


Agreed. Both are stretches.

This is why I have a section in my movie stuff for what I call "Millennial Horror" which is the era that Scream kicked off. Scream is its own thing, but that style and era led to like the Final Destination movies, I know What You Did Last Summer series, etc. The Faculty, Idle Hands, etc.


Exactly.

It's kind of funny to me that Wes Craven essentially took what he learned from New Nightmare and perfected it for Scream. Scream was obviously significantly more successful (and deservedly so), but I feel like New Nightmare is a bit of a forgotten film from that era.

Scream did a good job of mixing in some comedy in with all of the killing and scariness.

Stu: [starting to cry] My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!

Stu: Ow! You frickin' hit me with the phone, dick!

Stu: Oh, this is the greatest fun. You're going to love this. We got a surprise for you, Sidney. Yeah, you're going to love this one. It's a scream, baby. Hold a second, be right back.

Stu: I will totally protect you. Yo, I am so buff, I got you covered, girl.

Stu: Peer pressure. I'm far too sensitive.

I've never seen Cabin in the Woods so i can't speak to that but it's not a stretch to call Jaws a horror. Even if you go to IMDb, two of the genres it's listed under is monster horror and horror.

The fact that it’s labeled “monster horror” on IMDb tells you everything.

The first 15-20 min… yeah would be a horror movie. The remaining film is adventure thriller.

Love the film, but I never really thought of Jaws as horror
