There are about 15 movies in this list so far that I would have voted for if I thought they were horror.
Could you name them? I tried to keep mine pretty free from thrillers and fringe cases. But maybe you talk about others at all.
I have a question for you, Torgo. What's a film that isn't labeled Horror on IMDB or Letterboxd or whatever you use, but you think it absolutely qualifies?

I'd scrap half the list so far for not being horror enough.
I'd scrap all of you for being too horrific
I always have a difficult time with the edge cases. So many films I don't really wanna include because they're more of a thriller to me but everywhere else lists them as horror so I feel the need to conform so the film gets my points. But then stuff like Jaws doesn't get classified as a horror
