This is like mystery or something.

Also watch insidious if you guys wanna actually see a good horror movie.
Man, I could take Insidious and show you minute by minute what the film is a rip-off of, and where he stole all his monsters and subplots. There is not a second of originality in Insidious. -

Of course it's a horror movie. Specifically, psychological horror. It gave me a feeling of being unsettled. But even if it hadn't, being scared is not a requisite for being a horror film. And I'm glad it barely showed anything.

When I first saw this film, I thought it had wasted potential and was average at best.
However, I found myself thinking about it as I was lying in bed at night, generally creeping myself out. This led to me watching it again (and again!) until I became a bit obsessed: watch it alone in the dark- it scares the beep out of me when I do that! -

Let me get this straight, OP. So because YOU personally didn't feel scared that somehow negates the fact this is a horror movie? Do comedies cease to be comedies if you don't find them funny? What about an action movie that doesn't excite you? Is that not an action movie any more?
Your personal feelings on the film have nothing to do with the genre. You're not that important. -

Excuse me? It's a ghost story? Uhhhhhh, no. It's a story about a MENTAL BREAKDOWN. There is 0 mention of ghosts or hauntings. It's an INSANE ASYLUM and we saw an up close depiction of a man coming unravelled at the seams and losing his mind. THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL. No ghosts.

Then why did Gordon hear Simon's voice (the same voice Mary heard)? Pretty sure they were both possessed by some evil entity (Simon).
Someone here said it better than I did:
He was possessed by "Simon", the same spirit that possessed Mary. Simon possessed Mary and had her kill her family. When Mary died at the asylum, Simon was released and remained until another of the "weak and the wounded" was receptive to possession. That would be Gordon, who was already exhausted by the issues with the baby, job and marriage. As soon as Gordon enters, you hear Simon introduce himself with a "Hello Gordon". That's when the possession began.
CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre. -

What Gordon and Mary both hear was the voice of insanity. Both snapped when faced with what was to them severe emotional stress. Mary cut up by her glass doll given to her as a Christmas present, and Gorden when faced with his failing business and sleep deprivation due to constantly sick baby.
This movie was set in an asylum for a reason, rather than a haunted house. -

It's most definitely a horror film. And a damn creepy and unsettling one at that. There are few things that are worse or more scary than the demons of the human mind.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
