Horror or not ?

You don't have a problem. You have a good point is what you have. I see it the same way.
Terror should be its own genre. Even then, I'd still say that J has aspects of terror, but is not primarily a terror movie.

Your statement implies that "horror" is synonymous with things that don't exist. A horror movie is that which is filmed with the intent of conveying the emotion of horror, and has nothing to do with existence in itself. Furthermore, movies that try to convey horror by way of something that is unlikely to exist are the most ridiculous of all, and as a result are more of a comedy.
For example, how am I supposed to relate to a ghost story when I've never in my life seen evidence of it. Today with social media streams more fluid than they have ever been, one would think there would be some evidence, but alas, there is nothing. -

Not at all, it's just been discussed many times before, but if you're trying to ignite new or scintillating conversation about this wonderful film, methinks you've got to do a little better than asking 'is it a horror film?'. Why not read some of the posts?

I am sure it has been discussed many times before. I decided not to count.
Anyway, I get the reality is much scarier argument but for classification's sake I still prefer to stick with supernatural = horror. -

Eh. I wouldn't really consider it a "horror" movieI'd consider it more of a thriller or suspense more than a horror. The whole entire movie is building up suspense since we don't really get to see the shark a lot If you want a horror movie though, my favorite has got to be the original Carrie or The Exorcist.
