Feel like there’s an essay to be written about the influence of just the door kill alone on the next decade of gruesome punchlines to action scenes.

Is it fair to describe THE RAID as the birth of 'action-horror' as a subgenre? You've obviously got your mashups like PREDATOR or FROM DUSK TIL DAWN, where horror bushwhacks an action/thriller, but THE RAID is a straight action story elevated into horror sphere through aesthetics/tone/pace/gore.

I have no desire to ever be in a real fight, and in fact the idea of causing harm to another person makes me actually sick, so please understand what I mean when I say that THE RAID makes me want to punch someone/something SO. BAD.
