I gotta disagree with you on that one. It has a near-unstoppable killer that takes out a naked chick, a kid, a couple of old men, the tough-as-nails fisherman and nearly eats our hero.

There are jump scares, lots of creepy mood, a chilling soundtrack and tons of suspense.

And there are people who were so traumatized by the film (both my wife & my mother fall ionto this category) that they will not set foot in the ocean for fear of being eaten.

Any film with all these elements is a horror film.
