Bottom line, I think there are a lot of reasons why it's easy to miss the horror in Natural Born Killers -- either due to the wide variety of styles, including black humor, action and drama, or because of the non-horror social themes, both overt and subtle. But if you peel away some of the complexity and diversion, IMO the film is horror, even at its core.

I completely agree with your points on why it is horror. I, personally, consider it horror and have come across multiple documentaries and books that also group it under horror. Also, in reference to A Tale of Two Sister, I stand by what I said. There is one bad scene (which I did not think was that bad). It is definitely psychological horror.
