There are only three things guaranteed to start an internet argument.
- Pineapple on pizza.
- Who the best Batman is.
- Whether a certain movie is horror or "actually a psychological thriller."
Seriously, horror fans have been having this debate since before social media made arguing a full-time hobby. Critics love to slap the word thriller onto movies that are clearly trying to traumatize audiences, while horror fans point at their nightmares as Exhibit A.
The truth? Genres overlap. A movie can be horror, thriller, psychological horror, crime thriller, supernatural mystery, or all of the above.
Still, these 25 films have kept the debate alive for decades.
25. Panic Room (2002)
Verdict: Thriller
Someone breaks into your house.
You hide.
They want in.
It's incredibly tense, but there's nothing supernatural or particularly horrifying beyond the terrifying idea of real-life home invasion.
Unless you count Jared Leto's haircut.
