Army of the Dead | Official Trailer | Netflix

Say what you will about the bombastic rock-video opuses of Zack Snyder, but the man does know how to open a picture, doesn’t he? The director of some of the   of has, if nothing else, mastered the lost art of the opening credits sequence—a talent he flexes once more at the onset of his palate-cleansing new film, the action-horror hybrid Army Of The Dead. Through his signature style of near-tableau, Snyder depicts the fall of a Las Vegas overrun with ghouls. A Liberace impersonator is devoured by his dancers. A parachuting soldier floats helplessly into a horde, his billowing chute becoming a canvas painted bright red. Dropped bombs engulf the strip in gorgeous plumes of blue and orange. All this carnage is, naturally, set to the ironic tune of an Elvis cover and stamped with hot-pink text, creating a pageant of doomsday excess, a Sin City literally consumed by sinful appetite. It may be the best introductory montage to a Zack Snyder movie since, well, the Johnny Cash end-of-the-world blur that kicked off the filmmaker’s first feature and last visit to the zombie apocalypse, his .

    I just watched The Decline on Netflix which isnt horror per se but is fairly suspenseful and has so gruesome booby trap kills. There’s also this protagonist switch mid film that was just brilliant. 

  • gesundheitall-av says:

    Just here to see if anyone took the hit and compiled the list so we didn’t have to click through all 28!I’ll handle the last three: Train to Busan, Under the Shadow, and The VVitch.(I still don’t understand that last one, but I knew it’d be here. Maybe one day I’ll rewatch and appreciate it, but to me it was painfully dull.)

    • chancejohnt-av says:

      I just skipped to page 28 without reading any of it in order to post a comment letting them know that I did that solely to deny them their precious, precious clicks.

    • joseiandthenekomata-av says:

      Phew, thanks for bringing up The Witch. I’ll concede that I wasn’t fond of it either. I did like Anya Taylor-Joy in the role, the lonesome, rural scenery, and one particular farm animal.

      • noturtles-av says:

        That dog was overrated.

      • jmg619-av says:

        Man I’m glad I’m not the only that didn’t think The Witch was all that. I wanted to like it also from the rave reviews I’ve heard and ATJ. I think she is an awesome actress. But I was a bit bored of it. And I love supernatural horror over gore horror but was seriously disappointed.

      • big-spaghetti-av says:

        I liked the movie, hated the ending. It would be great to leave it at the prayer, but stop before the answer. It could easily be either a psychological horror or a supernatural horror, but don’t just go, “welp, this one, the end.” Do it like Frailty. Twist it at the end and then show why the twist was there.

        • joseiandthenekomata-av says:

          Haven’t heard of the movie, Frailty. Reading about it now – starring Bill Paxton, I presume – it sounds mentally gruesome.

          • big-spaghetti-av says:

            It is (according to taste) not really that bad.  It has a lot more dialogue and action than the VVitch, and is an easier movie to watch.  My wife and I double featured it and The Mist for Father’s Day a few years back.  Frailty has a really good performance by Paxton and is handled really well.  I would recommend it.

          • joseiandthenekomata-av says:

            Cool, I’ll put it on my watch list.

    • actionactioncut-av says:

      I just posted a list since I’m on my phone so it’s not a slideshow for me. 

    • kirkcorn-av says:

      Phew, thank you. The Witch is a beautiful period piece, well acted and directed and extremely atmospheric, but I don’t see it as a horror movie so much as a arthouse-leaning family drama with smatterings of supernatural elements.Even then, if I wanted that, I’d rather (as controversial as it is) go with a movie like Signs, whose tension and family story (at least until the final scenes) are a cut above.Not listed here, but I was also lukewarm on Hereditary, I feel there’s a suffocating formalism to a lot of these new wave horror films. There’s a sort of smugness to the directing that prevents the horror from being real or naturalistic, in a sense. They are arguably incredibly well made films but they aren’t… aside from a scene or two, particularly scary. Someone like Kubrick was also insanely formalist but he used that as a way to present the horror in a very matter-of-fact way that made it so disconcerting.

      • necgray-av says:

        It’s interesting that you mentioned Hereditary there as I would say that film is *also* very much a family drama. Is it possible that the family drama element put you off both? FWIW my two favorite horror films of the last 5 years or so are The Witch and Hereditary. Hereditary has even become a favorite full stop. Only nostalgia keeps Evil Dead II at the top of my list. So I may be inclined toward defensiveness of both.Especially re: scary/not scary. That is just so subjective. Both films soaked my brain in dread. And there are things in Hereditary that… ugh. Just… Ughhhh. I’ll never unsee them. (The ants at their work. The nose break. The fucking head banging on the attic door. The fucking piano wire. The whole third act, really.)

        • kirkcorn-av says:

          The head banging sends chills up my spine to this day (that and the glimpse of Grandma in the study)! Don’t get me wrong. I very much enjoyed both films, I suppose I’m being smug myself and just find it a little odd that they are held up as the poster children of modern horror (I suppose there aren’t many alternatives, though Get Out or It Follows would get my approval).I do enjoy family horror drama. As mentioned, Signs and the Shining are great, as well as the The Others and Babadook.I suppose for me I just didn’t find either family in The Witch or Hereditary to garner much sympathy or make much sense to me. Hereditary’s father was a non-entity, and the whole family seemed absurdly dysfunctional to begin with. I barely recall the family dynamics in the Witch.

          I felt, for example, The Shining worked much better in grounding us in the abusive behavior of Nicholson’s character against Duvall and her son. That chilling scene where she explains how Jack dislocated Danny’s shoulder nonchalantly is heartbreaking in how it mirrors how some abused ‘justify’ their abuser’s behavior. But yeah! Horror is definitely subjective, you’re not wrong at all. I guess that’s the hard part in evaluating the genre. As I said though, they are definitely great films, but they’re on a different metric for me if I were evaluating them based purely on their ability to scare.

          • katanahottinroof-av says:

            The Babadook was done so well as a family drama, it did not even need the supernatural happenings. I would have watched a film just about that poor mother, raising a child that she just does not understand and kind of hates. I suppose that the monster was really just a metaphor for all that, which made it work all the better, both ways.

          • necgray-av says:

            I liked It Follows a lot BUT felt like it never quite lived up to the opening reveal on the beach. That, for me, is the strongest scene of the movie. I love the character work throughout but the scares and kills are undercut by the opening.

          • catmanstruthers2-av says:

            IMO Hereditary and The Witch are two of the best horror movies of the past decade, and they are joined by other A24 titles such as The Blackcoat’s Daughter and Midsommar.The family dynamics in The Witch are fantastic; it’s sort of a spin on The Thing in that (spoiler) her whole family, conditioned by puritanical fervor, gradually begins to suspect her, in a sense blaming the victim. There’s a lot of themes about sexism and feminism swirling around in there; it’s a good movie. Definitely difficult to follow with the period dialogue.I agree that Hereditary is a bit over the top at points, but the overall quality of the filmmaking covers for it. Compared to some of the films in this listicle, it’s freaking Goodfellas (which is also over the top at points). A decent little A24 film on Netflix which AVC has ignored in favor of Splice, for whatever reason, is called The Monster. It’s written & directed by Bryan Bertino, who did The Strangers, and it’s not A24’s best, but it is a good deal better than Bertino’s first effort.For my money A24’s best horror flick is Under the Skin. That family on the beach. The moment we find out the fate that befalls ScarJo’s prey.Just terrifying.

          • ohwell1111-av says:

        • jaymags71-av says:

          I’ve seen dozens of horror movies, and Hereditary is the only movie that’s caused a physical reaction within me. Somewhere around the scene where Joan confronts Peter at school, I started feeling a panic attack coming on. Likely due to extreme uncertainty of what was happening.

          • necgray-av says:

            I feel like some intellectual horror fans and people dipping their toes into the genre have an understandably cautious, if not outright bad, attitude about films that lean into psychological dread only to twist in act 3. There’s often disappointment when the psychological turns supernatural. You see it in reactions to Hereditary, The Last Exorcism, The Babadook, The Witch, to name a few. I understand that disappointment but can’t at all be on board. I LOVE the turn from psychological to supernatural. Less so the reverse but I can appreciate it.Without Hereditary’s hard turn from psychological ghost story to cult demonic lunacy it’s a very good film. That turn makes it my favorite film of the last 20 years. I saw it 5 times in the theater (3 first run, 2 cheapo second run matinees – best $2 I ever spent) and I’m a cheap bastard.And yeah, that Joan scene is fantastic! One of the complaints I have read about the film is that it’s derivative. The Joan moments get linked to The Omen quite a bit. While I have a larger angry counter to those complaints (essentially: show me a movie that doesn’t crib from another movie, you fucking whiners), my immediate reaction to that specific instance is that Yes! Of COURSE it’s reminiscent of The Omen or Rosemary’s Baby! The movie is about to take a hard turn into demon cult territory, it’s fucking *helpful* to have a familiar touchstone to make the turn more comfortable!Maybe my points would be better taken without swearing. I just love that film so much and get amped up talking film generally.

      • katanahottinroof-av says:

        I could not get into Hereditary [spoilers] due to its main structure of there is a specific demon, and there is some book lying around, and if you do various things, boom, demon. It is like leaving the nuclear launch codes lying around in a used book store. I always find it easier to buy into a ghost story, as there are fewer formal rules to them, yet we already know the gist of what could happen. Amazingly well done film, no slight to anyone who loved it, especially that scene with the son leaving the body still in the car and just going to bed for it to be found; it seemed humanly, horrifyingly plausible. When Toni Collette was crawling around on the ceiling, I did not find it creepy, it just looked silly to me, and they lost me there. The people surrounding the house being ghosts, I would buy into (for arbitrary reasons); them being a throng of demon worshipers just does not work for me.  I sure have hell would have smelled that body in the attic.

    • istrasci-av says:

      Completely agree about The VVitch. It was really boring, and not at all scary to me.

    • wookietim-av says:

      I can grok seeing the watch as too slow. I am on the side that loves that movie but you do have to be a person that likes slow burn horror to like it and thats not for everyone.

      • gesundheitall-av says:

        What would be another example of slow burn horror? I feel like that is something I like! But maybe not.

        • mifrochi-av says:

          Ti West made two movies where very little happens until all of a sudden something does. House of the Devil is a really good movie, but goddamn if The Innkeepers doesn’t have my favorite ending of any horror movie ever. It’s like a ninety minute build to a few minutes of pure nightmare. I Am the Pretty Thing That Lived in the House is even less eventful, and I’ve recommended it to a few friends who absolutely hated it. But as someone who finds empty doorways at night very unsettling, I could relate to the protagonist. 

          • gesundheitall-av says:

            Oh I absolutely adored House of the Devil. Excellent, gripping slow burn. I don’t think I’ve seen Innkeepers or Pretty Thing… yet

        • wookietim-av says:

          A couple that come to mind from recently : the lighthouse and basically anything else from A24 studios.Also a movie from the early 2000s named session 9. And then there were a lot from the 70s

          • gesundheitall-av says:

            Loved Lighthouse and Session 9 too!I think I do like slow-burn horror, just not The Witch. I suppose we all have our burdens to bear.

          • smithsfamousfarm-av says:

            I’ve come to think that A24 may be my favorite ‘mini-major’ (I think they’ve reached that level by now) of the past several years, followed by Blumhouse. And Session 9 is a good psychological horror film for sure. Also the one that I spent years trying to remember the title of until it was mentioned here at the AVC by someone months ago.

          • wookietim-av says:

            They’ve definitely had a string of truly great movies made by very good people.

      • drinky-av says:

        I too love The Witch; all that simmering dread, Black Philip and the world’s worst game of peek-a-boo-baby!

    • katanahottinroof-av says:

      I need to watch it with subtitles.  I was not bored, I just knew that I was missing a lot of information.  Good for its mood and setting.

    • returning-the-screw-av says:

      If you view these on your phone it’s just a straight list. 

    • eatthecheesenicholson2-av says:

      I agree overall it was pretty slow. Also, while I appreciate trying to be accurate with the period dialogue, it was borderline incomprehensible at times. Still, (VERY MILD SPOILERS) the peek-a-boo scene and the Black Phillip reveal were both good enough for me to go with it.

    • frankwalkerbarr-av says:

      Again . nobody has to click through the show in any of these. Just make your browser window narrower, and the page will automatically turn into a normal scrolling page.
      In terms of content, while I haven’t seen it, “Splice” seems to basically be a redo of the old “Species” movies from the 1990s, if anyone remembers those. A pity they didn’t include a cameo for Natasha Henstridge

      • catmanstruthers2-av says:

        Splice was like if the dudes in Species were attracted to Natasha Henstridge, but in alien form, minus Michael Madsen, plus incest and Adrien Brody.It’s pretty terrible.

    • sageturk-av says:

      For me, to posit that the salem witch trials were justified is too gross to really endorse what i think is a great example of atmospheric, low budget, high-tension filmmaking. It’s one thing for your film to be boring – which is a fair assessment – but fundamentally I don’t see the difference between saying those innocent women deserved to be burned and a movie that posits that jews are legitimately evil and deserved to be gassed. please don’t make that movie btw.

      no such thing as perfect, but Egger’s The VVitch was a damn fine scary movie. it’s all about the butter. 

    • TRT-X-av says:

      I made the mistake of watching The VVitch for the first time shortly after the birth of our first child.The trailer kinda teases what I’m referring to, but those who’ve seen it know what I’m talking about.Soured the film for me almost immediately and it was never able to bounce back.

      Carrie. The Ritual. Murder Party (also Saulnier’s Blue Ruin if you want to call that horror, which I do).Under the Skin.We’ve just named 16 movies that are better than anything Mike Flanagan ever made, and yet…

    • iseecheeze-its-av says:
    • mysteriousracerx-av says:

      Great additions, we recently put Sweetheart into our queue, but haven’t watched it yet. I guess I’d add Resolution as a sort-of-prequel to The Endless (much of the same creative team, in a “shared universe”).  Spring (same team again) is a lot fun, but don’t believe it’s on Netflix at the moment (I think we saw it on Shudder …)

    • returning-the-screw-av says:

      They’ve said why.

    • eatthecheesenicholson2-av says:

      I agree, with the exception of It Comes at Night. I get that it’s a metaphor about grief and you need to have suspension of disbelief and yadda yadda but, even by horror movie standards, everyone acts in such unrelatable, completely moronic ways, I just couldn’t get past it. 

    • shoeboxjeddy-av says:

      The Witch was removed in September. What was the point of updating the list on October 20th if they didn’t check what movies were still on it…

  • necgray-av says:

    Oh come off it, Dowd. The Blackcoat’s Daughter is controlled just like I Am the Pretty Thing but shit actually *happens* in Blackcoat. Pretty Thing is like Perkins took a page out of the Ti West “vague mood for 85 minutes with 4-5 minutes of plot” playbook. Slow burn is not the same as no burn. (I goddam hate House of the Devil SO MUCH) I haven’t yet caught Oz’s Hansel and Gretel but I really hope it’s more like Blackcoat. Pretty Thing isn’t some underrated hidden gem. It’s a self-indulgent nothingburger. It’s the poster child for why a certain segment of horror fandom gets squirrelly when they see the A24 logo.ETA: I really enjoyed Blackcoat’s Daughter, if that wasn’t clear. It’s why I gave Pretty Thing a shot.

    • mifrochi-av says:

      I liked both of them. I enjoyed how weird Pretty Thing was. And I kind of appreciated how committed the movie was to not having anything happen. I would hate for every movie to be that way, but it works now and then. Blackcoats Daughter unintentionally ruined the Witch for me. When I finally got around to watching the Witch, the third act seemed too familiar – the explosions of violence, the satanism, the grey cinematography.

      • necgray-av says:

        IMO for a similar pace but much more satisfying craziness I’d prefer Panos Cosmatos to Perkins. Certainly WAY over Ti fucking West. Beyond the Black Rainbow frustrated the shit out of me but I have never been able to quite forget it. And Mandy rocked me. If you gotta go slow, I prefer you go batshit. For that matter, I would include the original Phantasm. It is structured like ass and moves super slow but you can’t look away.

    • jbel-av says:

      I fell asleep the first time I saw House Of The Devil but only because I saw it at the theater at midnight. Have rewatched it a few times since and think it’s a great film.

      • necgray-av says:

        It’s a very well made music video, starring a pretty Millennial pretending to be an 80s coed, sandwiched between swaths of nothing. And then like 5 minutes of laughably shitty Satanic cult trash.Counter-point?

        • jbel-av says:

          It’s almost like you’re describing Mandy but sub out pretty millennial for Cage, forget to give the characters any personality and then write a half-assed story.

          Also, HOTD has Greta Gerwig and her pretty shocking death, Tom Noonan & Mary Woronov doing their weirdo shit & Dee Wallace.

          Color Out Of Place is way better than Mandy anyways.

          • necgray-av says:

            Shocking or unmotivated and out of nowhere? Noonan and Woronov are in the 5 minutes of “plot”, bfd. Dee Wallace…. and? She exists. Much of that “film” just exists. I SO fucking hate it. Mandy has more character and story in the stupid Cheddar Goblin commercial than the entirety of House of the Dullsville.

          • jbel-av says:

            Ok sure

    • spaced99-av says:

      Love Blackcoat’s Daughter, more or less agree with you on Pretty Thing, and I recently wanted Gretel and Hansel (names are reversed for that film) and thought it was pretty good. Only complaint on that one is that I found the ending to be a bit weak, and perhaps a bit premature, as I was left wanting a bit more to the story before the conclusion.

    • jpfilmmaker-av says:

      Thank you! I am so glad I’m not the only person that looked at House of the Devil and had that reaction. That movie is a great short film with 80 minutes of boring crap leading up to it.I’ve given Oz Perkins a couple of chances now.  From what I can tell, they are gorgeous films that forget to have a plot. 

      • necgray-av says:

        In the time since I wrote these responses I had a chance to see Gretel & Hansel and I think I largely agree with you about Perkins. I dunno, maybe Blackcoat’s Daughter was a fluke. There were things to enjoy in G&H but overall it did seem to drag and wander around any kind of story. And I’m a little bored of dude directors trying to say something about women’s empowerment. What does Oz Perkins have to say about the subject *really*? It’s fine, whatever. If the movie had been stronger I don’t think I would have cared as much. But it isn’t. And I lay part of the blame on a pretentious need for the material to have some thematic resonance. Just tell a fucking story, dude.

    • sirslud-av says:

      I’m surprised nobody seemed to catch that Dowd has it directed by Frank Oz and not Oz Perkins.

    • teageegeepea-av says:

      For me, House of the Devil > The Blackcoats Daughter > Gretel & Hansel >>>>>> I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House.

      • necgray-av says:

        I’m now going to engage in some hyperbole, which is an exaggeration of my feelings BUT be assured that my feelings are genuine on the subject.Fucking WHY with the House of the Devil? Explain to me, because I don’t like yucking anyone’s yum. And bearing in mind that I understand that taste is subjective and we’re all film fans.Fucking WHY?I have read all the positive reviews I could stomach of that fucking glacier made of reindeer shit and I cannot understand how otherwise intelligent movie viewers could look upon the colossal waste of time and talent that is that fucking movie, sorry “movie”, and put it above anything else except maybe the works of Neil fucking Breen. And only because West is actually quite talented as a visualist. Breen is a madman and a void of talent but *at least* I can laugh at his incompetence and insanity. Meanwhile House of the Devil makes me somehow yawn in rage. It is dead fucking boring and yet has gathered to itself a fandom of otherwise right-minded film folks. It infuriates me that such shallow, meaningless bullshit, bereft of tension (If you think that movie is tense, you have substituted metaknowledge of genre and advance hype for a semblance of critical fucking acumen and I hope Hitchcock shits in your empty eyesockets in Hell), has TRICKED people into thinking it is anything but an attractive young woman goofing around in a high school AV club production. It is the horror film debut of Max from Rushmore.Okay, hyperbole over. I respectfully stand agog at your ranking.

        • teageegeepea-av says:

          It’s not Ti West’s horror film debut. It’s his third feature, although I haven’t seen his prior stuff.As for why I don’t lump it in with I Am the Pretty Thing, the latter doesn’t have a bunch of murderous Satan-worshippers. It just has one jump scare, whose only significance is that it scares the protagonist. Not a patch on Bowen & Gerwig’s scene in House, which comes way earlier in its runtime compares to the other film’s “scare”.

  • galdarn-av says:

    The Blackcoat’s Daughter and I Am The Pretty Thing are two of the worst, most pretentious piles of hot garbage in the last decade of horror. Just terrible and Oz Perkins is a complete hack.

  • katanahottinroof-av says:

    I really tried to like Hush. Too many poor screenwriting choices to get me to overlook the good parts. Really missed a directorial choice, too, not having segments with no sound where we see what is happening and she does not.

  • cctatum-av says:

    I am a big baby when it comes to horror movies but I appreciate the really well made, less graphic ones. SPOILER I thought “The Witch” was beautifully shot, well-acted, but the baby pulping ruined it for me. FWIW I thought the pretty thing in the house was really good. Also “Mindhunter” reminds me of “Se7en” so that might be a good horror option too. I keep hoping Jonathan Groff will sing but it is not looking very likely.

  • guppysb-av says:

    The witch is highly underrated!

  • diabolik7-av says:

    The paragraph on The Autopsy Of Jane Doe fails to mention that while the excellent Brian Cox and, regrettably, Emile Hirsch are doing the autopsy and realising something is badly amiss, there are strange things starting to happen in the family-owned funeral home, and the pics becomes terrifically creepy with a couple of great scares and an escalating feeling of dread as the father-and-son realise that ‘Jane Doe’ isn’t who or what they first believed. Øvredal pulls off some terrific little tricks, especially on the soundtrack, and the whole thing is an underrated little gem.

    Remember, if you shrink the window’s width you can just scroll down. And remember it’s not our fine writers but their new idiot owners…

    why is this a slideshow?  please stop doing this.

    It’s Oz Perkins (Anthony Perkins’ kid) who directed the Blackcoat’s Daughter, not the puppeteer from the Muppets and Yoda (Frank Oz). Though I am imagining Yoda directing a horror film now.

    Elvira is streaming on Hulu. You’re welcome, everyone. 

    • nomatterwhereyougothereyouare-av says:

      Depending on which movie you’re talking about, she’s also on Prime, the one with that glorious finale.

  • severn37-av says:

    Frank Oz didn’t direct The Blackcoat’s Daughter – Osgood Perkins did.

  • taumpytearrs-av says:

    Going by the age of the comments here, The Blackcoat’s Daughter blurb has incorrectly listed Frank “Miss Piggy” Oz as the movie’s director for at least 3 months.

  • awkwardbacon-av says:

    This is lacking one of the best hidden horror gems on Netflix. The Ritual.

  • laurenceq-av says:

    Well, I watched two new movies from this list and I’m done listening to you guys.

  • mrfallon-av says:

    Frank Oz didn’t do The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Oz Perkins did.

  • tinkererer-av says:

    “Frank Oz’s the Blackcoat’s Daughter” would be very fun, but a very different movie, Dowd.

  • specialcharactersnotallowed-av says:

    I hate these continually updated lists because to me the comments are often the most interesting part of a review (sorry, professional writers), but on these articles the bulk of the comments end up being about movies that aren’t available to watch (or about how much everyone hates slide shows, which never gets old). If you could just start the lists over, you’d probably get more engagement.I know anyone who can change this is unlikely to see my comment much less act on it, but an article about horror seemed a good place to scream helplessly into the void.

  • hootiehoo2-av says:

    Insidious is the movie that scared me the most as an adult. I was f’n 36-37 when it came out and I was beyond scared.I was with my cousin’s who were 14 and 18 years old when we saw it and there were these 3 nice gay men sitting a seat over from me. The amount of screaming the 6 of us did in that movie theater in Kips bay NYC was something! I may have screamed the least but for fuck sake did the bride in black scare me shitless.

  • theresnocheekslikemocheeks-av says:

    Probably not on Netflix US any more but the Terrifier was a surprisingly good slasher type flick. Brutal violence but was genuinely frightening due to the suspense build-ups, and you can feel the tension & terror in the victims.

  • breadnmaters-av says:

    I caught Gerald’s Game a while back. I didn’t know it was as recent as 2017 (it was written in 1992) nor did I realize it was a King adaptation until I started watching. It was just ok. The performances were very self-conscious. There isn’t any chemistry between the couple; they interact in a way that feels like they just met. And the kinky sex simply seems like a clumsy vehicle to get the victim in a vulnerable situation. The denouement doesn’t seem believable either. Watch it if you have nothing else to do.

    Annoyingly, all the ones I want to see (or haven’t already) aren’t on Netflix Canada.  I know I’m going to have to finally get a VPN, but I keep putting it off.

  • TombSv-av says:

    I would go with Host over Unfriended.

  • stryker1121-av says:

    Both Unfriended movies are pretty good. The second one is dumb is dog balls, but very fun and well made. 

  • lesyikes-av says:

    JAWS is a thriller. Not a horror film.
