Three Sub-Sub-genres
Ok,
Sooooooo, I was thinking lately about sub-sub-genres of movies. A genre would be like "horror." A Sub genre would be like "horror movies about magic." But Sub-sub-genres are truly more random.
- Killer Baby Movies. These are movies where the actual baby itself is trying to kill stuff, often times their parents. These babies often have unnatural strength and/or the ruthlessness to kill random characters. Examples: the It's Alive series, The Unborn, Grace
- Killer Alligator/Crocodile Movies. Killer animal movies abound, but there are oodles of Alligator/crocodile related movies, often times they involve an evil human that has created the problem. Alligator, Eaten Alive, the Lake Placid series, Killer Crocodile, The Great Alligator
- Killer Dismembered Hand Movies. Movies where the thing killing people is a hand that moves on its own, usually via some manner of evil magic. The Hand (an early Oliver Stone joint), The Beast with Five Fingers, Idle Hands, The Crawling Hand BONUS NOD: Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn
