i have always wondered something, which Godzilla films besides the original would you put as horror flicks?

From what I've seen, the one that comes close is Shin Godzilla. Unfortunately, I can't think of another that embraces those same horror undertones from the original, at least not to the degree of SG.

For Godzilla to become a horror movie, that would mean turning Godzilla to the dark side. No, I don't think that will happen.

I'm hesitant on calling any Godzilla film (barring 1954) a horror film. Although movies like Shin, GMK, 84, Bio, and some others do most certainly contain horror elements.
