Two-Part Genre Question

Stunted · Dec 19, 2009

First off, what genre is my screenplay? It's about a husband who discovers that his wife is not human. At first, everything's fine, and it's sort of a comedy, but he quickly realizes that something is not right, and eventually has to fight to protect himself and his daughter.

Second, can people tell me the names of some movies in this genre that they like?

Speculative fiction. (OR speculative cinema.)

At least that's what Being John Malkovich has been called.

Genre

Science-fiction thriller or science-fiction comedy.

It needs to be one or the other. You can have some comic elements in a thriller, but you have to be careful. If you have too much comedy, the script will not work as a thriller.

Sounds like science fiction.
