'The One Hundred' fits squarely within the horror genre, particularly the subgenre of creature horror and survival horror. Typical elements it includes are a confined and isolated setting—in this case, a quarantine hotel—creating a claustrophobic atmosphere where characters are cut off from the outside world. The presence of a contagious virus adds an underlying biological threat, enhancing the tension and fear. Central to the horror is the appearance of a unique monster: a creature with 100 legs, serving as an unusual and terrifying antagonist that prey on the characters. What makes 'The One Hundred' stand out from other horror titles is its combination of contemporary themes such as pandemic isolation with a distinctive monster design, blending real-world fears with supernatural horror. The casting of actors like Mike Angelo (Leo) and Chanya McClory (Fame) also adds depth to the character-driven narrative, emphasizing human survival amidst monstrous threats.
