Maven's SciFi not Horror
Where the Science Fiction content is greater then the Horror (unless before 1960). I draw the line at the Aliens series, which is about 50-50. Other Genres are fine as long as the SciFi is clearly present. Includes everything from the beginning of movie-making, except total junk (rating < 4.0). See also
