Does it count as a horror movie? Yes, absolutely.

For a movie marathon? No, not at all.

It isn't a movie where there's some scary monster stalking people or a murderer on the loose, or the typical horror tropes you'd want out of a horror movie marathon. It is... deeply personal and atmospheric. It's the kind of horror movie where everything is up to interpretation while having a clear purpose and reading.

All I'm going to say is that it will hit people like us right in the heart.

P.S. I hope I haven't wandered into spoiler territory.

Yep, that's a good way to put it.
