The Terminator can be considered as a horror film. Think about it very carefully. Unstoppable cyborg on a mission to kill a woman. It will do whatever it takes to complete the task, no matter what. Here's a quote from one of the characters in the movie:
"Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
That sounds quite frightening to be honest.
One of the movie's most intense scenes takes place in a police station. The Terminator knows that Sarah Connor, his target, is in there. He asks if he can see her because he knows her. The desk cop says visiting hours are over and the Terminator replies back with, "I'll be back." He steps out of the front door, only to crash into the front of the building. What follows after is a shootout where the police have absolutely no chance against the killer.
By the time we get near the end of the movie, the Terminator is shown in its full glory. No human flesh, only metal. It's chasing after our heroes and there's a part where they find a door with the Terminator closing in from behind. Now back then, technology wasn't so advanced so the director had to resort to stop motion on a few parts. It's effective though because the Terminator's movements look very nonhuman like. During this specific part, it really felt like a slasher movie where our killer was chasing after his next victim.
With its cast of actors, terrifying
vision of the future, kinetic pacing, awesome soundtrack, and a one of a
kind performance from Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator is an excellent film. 5/5
