Even though it wasn’t scary, this is definitely a horror movie. Just because it ends with a twist, that changes the tone of the movie into a dark fantasy drama, it doesn’t change the fact that, the almost entire movie was shot as a horror. It had all the traditional conventions of horror (with the exception of maybe the mirror trope). And that was probably the director intention, because the movie seems to have been built on the foundations of that twist. Because every movie needs a twist. And it’s easy to see. Just take out the last 15 or 10 minutes of the movie, and there is little to no fantasy in the rest.
