Above is a diagram of "Animal Attack" movies. I have never thought too much about calling animal attacks a separate category of horror movies, but they do seem to be pretty popular. It can be really creepy to think that the monster in a horror movie is just an ordinary animal, especially in The Birds. Salon magazine says they excluded King Kong because he is not a real animal, so is it fair to include Jurassic Park on the chart?
Try to count how many of these movies you have seen or if any movies are missing; I think there is one movie about killer bees and another one about bull ants that the author forgot about. Also, see if the diagram helps you come up with any ideas for animal attack movies that nobody has thought of yet!
