horror flick
Scary movie genre
A horror flick is a horror movie—a film designed to frighten, unsettle, or shock viewers through supernatural elements, violence, or suspense.
Flick is casual slang for movie, so horror flick carries an informal, slightly dismissive tone: We stayed up watching cheap horror flicks.
The term suggests entertainment rather than art-house cinema.
