What primary genre is Underworld? - Blu-ray Forum

Lepidopterous · 09-05-2008, 10:08 AM

I just got Underworld and Underworld: Evolution on blu-ray and am wondering what genre it would be... Action or Horror? My first judgement would be action but I think it is officially listed under horror. At most major retailers it is too. But whenever I'd want to watch a horror movie, Underworld is not what I'd have in mind... What do you think...?

For me :
1. Fantastic
2. Action
3. Horror

BIGLAD · 09-05-2008, 11:19 AM

I would it say it is horror.

Kyo28 · 09-05-2008, 11:30 AM

I'd say it's a fantastic film but with a lot of action elements.

Horror ... hmm, not so much. Real horror for me doesn't have action elements but instead is a very suggestive film. It's the uncertainty that creates the horror aspect

Buffy-esque

Don't get me wrong... I like it but it's clearly a jump on the gravy train that was Buffy.

Of the two action/horror I'd say it's action. I'd never consider it a horror movie. Horror to me means frightening and the only thing frightening about Underworld is how good Kate Beckinsale looks

Cool...for a second I was under the impression that you going to criticize Kate

Ernest Rister · 09-05-2008, 12:16 PM

Action Fantasy. See also Comic Book Fantasy

Mr. J · 09-05-2008, 12:29 PM

I'd say Action!

209Mason · 09-05-2008, 12:31 PM

Sci-Fi/Action

Lucy Diamond · 09-05-2008, 12:39 PM

It is an action flick.

They happen to be vampires and werewolves, but it is still commando with a plot.

Col. Zombie · 09-05-2008, 01:06 PM

I'd have to go with Fantasy-Action. I usually consider a film a horror movie if it is scary.

Death_Dealer · 09-05-2008, 01:32 PM

Action for sure. It might have a moment or two that make you jump but it is still pretty much staight action from start to finish.

AliceT · 09-05-2008, 01:38 PM

I certainly wouldnt put it under horror. Probably just Action, maybe even fantasy/action.

Deadset · 09-05-2008, 01:53 PM

action fantasy

Eternalnow · 09-05-2008, 02:44 PM

Sci-Fi/Action/Fantasy.

Psx0005 · 09-05-2008, 08:33 PM

Straight out fantasy because its got hot mama Kate Beckinsale all throughout

But I would file it under Action/Fantasy/Horror on a serious note.

+1 lol

I'd say Fantasy/Horror/Sci-Fi/Action

Pondosinatra · 09-05-2008, 09:04 PM

I'd have to file it under the 'Hot babes wearing tight leather' section.

Clark Kent · 09-05-2008, 10:08 PM

Fantasy action. The movie doesn't really follow any conventions of the horror genre except that vampires and werewolves are characters in the story.
