No, they are usually different, but some can have similar aspects.

Depends on the movie.

Most retailers combine sci/fi and horror into one section for some reason.

Well...dont think they are really, but if you start a thread in a movie discussion about...dunno...a horrorish sci-fi you will be movied to a horror thread...confused

i agree with backfire. There totally different movies, but I think it is obvious that the directors mix elements of horror into sci/fi

Like alien....for example

What about resident evil its a sc-fi but some people thought it was scary.

Horror combines terror(anticipation) with horror(realization). Sci-fi is more action and science-related plots, such as diseases that make people killing machines(Resident Evil), or philosophies that change our aspect on human existance (The Matrix)

Horror is just ppl dying in creative ways by means of a psycho (and I mean that in an endearing way big grin big grin big grin)

I believe there is a fine line between sci-fi and horror that can be distinguished relatively easy at times and it can be relatively hard to see the difference at times. I think it all depends on the viewers outlook on it.
