Is it the beginning of a geek take on horror? It was a fun film, and felt very original when it came out, but it was also a bit of a gimmick. I'm not sure it's ready to become an entire genre without becoming very quickly stereotyped.
- splawn 11y agoWith perhaps humor being the exception, it seemed like his description of this new genre almost summed up the themes from Frankenstein. I think horror has always been a "geek" thing. (If that word with its modern meaning can even be retroactively applied)
- thenomad 11y agoHmm, that's a very interesting point. Particularly since I think the "geek" moniker could definitely be applied to the Shelleys. Byron, less so.
