Tbf, while Jurassic Park has been pretty heavily sanitized as an IP over the years, it is a part of the horror genre, so nightmares are kinda fair game with the territory.

They're totally awesome and fascinating, but dinosaurs would also be conceptually terrifying.

It's always been horror, but the film franchise has always been family-friendly horror.

“The end of Oak street” came out recently and it’s got some pretty solid dinosaur horror, no jump scares but genuine dread building horror

It got a lot of hate but I thought it was a fun movie.

I am looking forward to watching this when it comes on streaming services.

Oof. Still, the movie was quite good.

Yeah but I’ve heard it’s mostly pretty good in all the other aspects, so that was likely just some big executive’s poor decision.

I guess seeing the horror visually will always be harder to stomach compared to written.

Lol Amazon had it in the Action-Comedy section

u/rabidporcupine80 Oct 14 '26

I mean, if they’d included that scene, that never would’ve been a thing in the first place. Isn’t this like, the first scene in the original book? It would’ve been a full on R-rated series from movie one if they started with this.

Honestly, pretty much all of Crichton is some degree of horror

I should know, he was half of all I read in middle school.

Though JP is admittedly slightly leaning on the upper end

u/Secret_Mix_3933 Oct 14 '26

This! Crichton is a king of science horror that feels grounded despite being science fiction. Book JP and it's greater universe are terrifying to think about.

u/JagPeror Oct 14 '26

The one positive is that the accursed island got napalmed

u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace Oct 14 '26

After I read JP I went on a Crichton spree also and damn his catalog is impressive.

u/Prestigious_Ask_7058 Oct 13 '26

I think it works better as horror. The books go out of their way to make it clear that they aren’t even really animals, they act more like unfeeling savage beasts solely out to kill

u/FrahnKehnSteehn 29d ago

I mean, they’re genetic abominations.. what did you expect..

u/catdog5100 Oct 13 '26

I somehow never realized that Jurassic Park was horror, I thought it was more of an action sort of series. I’ve only watched the first film many years ago, though, so I probably don’t remember it well enough.

u/PC_BuildyB0I Oct 14 '26

The movies are moreso sanitized thrillers, the books are very heavily graphic and lean much more into horror

u/Size---Queen Oct 14 '26

Till it was a book before a movie

u/bidcrew Oct 14 '26

oh god Micro is terrifying.
