    I've always been saying this and i'll always say it, Horror movies are the best, I actually prefer horror to action movies because they display more story play and keeps you in absence of what is gonna happen next, and that is so thrilling, Actions movies always focus around gunfight and battlegrounds, we need a little more than that.

    Eh. I prefer action movies. I don't find how people seem to love horror movies so much. Usually, a few people die, then the 'enemy' gets killed or something. With action movies (e.g. The Dark Knight), there's always a bunch of plot twists that you don't expect. Sure, there may be a few plot twists in horror movies, but you know what will happen in the ending.

    I can understand the appear of horror, people like the rush it gives them but watching horror gives me a feeling of suspense that after a while, isn’t very enjoyable. I prefer action because the suspense is different, less intense, and the vibe of horror flicks are way more creepy.

    I definitely prefer action as horror is usually just gross and I don't enjoy being scared. I do enjoy a good suspense horror, but not so much just one with gore and violence. Especially things based on true stories! I do not want to watch people being sliced in half, stabbed, or tortured. Yuck!

    Action can get a little violent too, and I don't enjoy that aspect. However, I find that violence to be faster and usually not as disgusting because its unrealistic that I'm going to get into a martial art fight with a bad guy any time soon! However, being a victim of a serial killer, deranged psycho, or even a haunted house seems more likely and I rather not dwell on those things.

    I enjoy watching both genres actually but in general I would choose to watch an action movie instead of an horror. This is because I feel like I need adrenaline more often than something that makes me think about the dark side of the world, dark energies and so on.

    I don't want to say that horror movies are bad, I actually enjoy horror movie if they have a good plot (for example I recently watched A Quiet Place, Bird Box, The Silence), but as I said previously I enjoy more watching action movies because they inspire me. In the world we are living today everything is changing and we need to have this focus, this energy to adapt at the new conditions.

    Action movies are my best, I cant even watch horror movies even for the first 20 - 30 seconds, but action movies give you that urge to see what will happen till the end.

    I honestly really like horror movies because they give you that rush of getting scared and stuff, but if I had to choose between action and horror, then I would definitely choose action. I just feel like action movies have more of a plot and they always keep you on the edge of your seat. There are some horror movies with lots of violence and gore and I don't really like that, so action is more my genre.

    Both, because horor without action isn't horor. Action isn't action without a little bit horor. So I really like both of them for sure.

    Action- horror is too gory and I honestly think that it doesn't add anything other than pure entertainment and a strong giddy feeling. Action movies usually have some form of a morale in the end, and can often be motivational and inspirational without being total junk. Horror can tend to solely be pleasurable sick feelings.

    Horror movies appeal to everybody's basest instincts. The people watching horror movies get a rush out of feeling scared, protected or protective. It helps total strangers bond over common fears and sometimes makes them feel totally silly, too.
    Personally, I do not watch horror movies as I have better things to watch instead, but I don't know why so many people watch them and why it is such a big deal to them.

    Horror for me. Action films I just see as mindless entertainment but with a few exceptions coming from the 80's such as Die Hard or Terminator but the recent action films have for me been just mindless entertainment. Horror at least for me has a story line but the recent stuff as been rubbish to be honest.

I think all Saw episodes are great.

    I have always preferred action movies over horror movies. I don’t really like the jump scares that come with horror movies because I always jump even if it is the smallest thing. I love the way action movies are filmed they have a strong warrior and the villain and I love the way they are made.

    Depends, i like action films that actually has good story like Fast and The Furious series for example. And i like Horror movies that makes sense and doesn't just rely on gross things and Jumpscares such as IT or Insidious.
