Wow. Here's what I just saw on IMDB for Saw:

Genre:

Crime / Horror / Mystery / Thriller

So yes, horror is listed, but is secondary and only part of the genre description.

Am I missing something or are genres simply listed alphabetically?


Well, it's not a classic horror movie.  The whole point of the movie is finding out who the killer is and how he did it. That's a mystery.  A crime movie.  Thrills, yes, scares, yes, but just because a movie has disturbing images does not mean it's strictly or firstly horror.

The original Friday the 13th was a horror movie but also a murder mystery.  Saw is all about the mystery of the crimes, and less about direct killing like Friday the 13th.  I question whether a lot of you have even see Saw or played Manhunt.
