What genre would this be?

Submitted by judd1127 t3_z92a67 in movies

What genre is it where the characters are trapped in a place with the monster. Kinda like the Thing. Or sort of like The Abyss. I would say that it’s almost like horror or a thriller being mixed with mystery. But ultimately the trapped with the creature genre. I think that these are always very well done and exciting to watch especially with groups. I figured that this was one of the better places to try to describe this without seeming like an idiot too much.

Old dark house. If you want to limit it to sci-fi, I guess you could add that to the description.

I've seen it called isolation horror, though that would also include horror movies about isolation that do not have a monster.

Sounds like a horror with thriller elements. I wouldn't call it just a thriller because of being trapped with a creature implies immediate danger which is more like a horror as it plays off psychological terror and potential physical violence.

Are you referring to a particular movie?

Generally I think movies where people are stuck in one place are called bottle movies, so I guess it's just a horror bottle movie?

I’d say that sounds like a Horror or a Thriller. Maybe it could be both.

Alien also fits that description and I've seen it described as a haunted house movie, so perhaps that would be suitable?
