I wasn’t scared by the movie, but it has a similar dread throughout the movie. There are also some jump scares, and the ending has that ‘evil didn’t really get defeated’ quality.

I think my criteria for if something’s a horror movie is answering this question: is it trying to scare me, or otherwise make me uncomfortable? If yes, then I think it belongs in the category to some degree. A lot of angst is spent by genre fans (horror especially, I’ve noticed?) wondering if something belongs in the genre, and I personally think a lot of it is unnecessary.
Enjoy what you enjoy, and if it spooks ya then I think it’s fair to at least say it has horror elements.
