OOps, possibly should have read the question better, or at all for that matter. The films you listed definitely have horror elements.
In that case, I would classify gore as a horror subgenre. Olaf Ittenbach's Dard Divorce would be a good example of that. Possibly Marian Dora's "Cannibal" or most of the German splatter films for that matter.
I could see points from the other side of the discussion though, with films like Tokyo Gore Police, Machine Girl... wouldn't classify those as horror.
guess Neverending said it best "semantics..."
