I don't get it. Why is this labeled horror?


I haven't seen Trash Humpers yet, but I have seen the trailer. Doesn't this fall under Drama? I don't see how this fits under the horror genre in any way. It might help if someone who has seen it answered, but any answer is fine.

it's like, the themes and images are what's so horrific about it. in terms of being a "horror film", it's far from it.

also, it's definitely not drama. it's just a surreal piece of film about old voyeurs who like to hump trash among other things.

Well they do murder someone, I can see how it could be called horror

they murder more than one person. i'm watching it right now, and so far they murdered the poet hobo in the maid costume and the guy in the house who was suffocated in the bag

They should have stuck to humping trash cans. This movie sucked. I'd rather go hump a tree than see this film again. Gummo was much better film.

They kill people and the whole atmosphere is horrifying.
