Agreed. Terminator also has elements of slasher horror, a relentless unstoppable killer chases the final girl while killing and killing anything that crosses his path. the ending fight between Sarah and Terminator skeleton is pure slasher trope as is how he offed her roomies.

Performances in a horror are not subtle so really not as impressive or impactful as an actor nailing a drama. 

Horror is a variant of the drama genre, it takes out biggest fears and turns it into some kind of explicit threat/monster.

Make no mistake, every monster in the Horror genre has some kind of social commentary behind it, they're they materialization of our fears, so saying that a Horror movie doesn't deserve the same love as a dramatic movie is not only stupid but also dumb.

Horror has been littered with a myriad of performances over the years that are award worthy...here's just a few of them, imo

 

 

Robert Englund NOES

Dee Wallace Cujo

Donald Pleasance Halloween

Robert DeNiro Angel Heart Mickey Rourke Angel Heart

Jeff Goldblum The Fly

Jack Nicholson The Shining

Rebecca Ferguson Dr. Sleep

Anthony Perkins Psycho

Bill Paxton Aliens

Naomi Watts The Ring

The three leads in Jaws

Matthew Lilliard Scream

Even more recently we’ve had a female trio of tour de force performances: Toni Collette (Hereditary), Lupita N’yongo (US), Florence Pugh (Midsommar).

The impact of piracy will be imminent, actually people that buys the film will be limited, but lots of viewers because you will see Invisible Man in torrent on Friday itself.

Unfortunate truth - 19.90 is too expensive for people to want to watch it legally.

$20 for a family/group film where dad or gandma would have paid for all the tickets is a fine price. But for adult-skewing fare where everybody would have bought their individual ticket it's a better idea for it to be priced lower. It's a harder ask at $20,

 

I saw The Invisible Man a little over a week ago and it feels like weeks ago at this point. It was good and recommendable. It's sort of playing in the same 'mass audience horror movie' space that something like Jordan Peele's Get Out was more than something like Us or the more artsy fartsy horror movies that seem to divide like Ari Aster or Robert Eggers.
