Most of this debate seems to be hinged on the definition of horror vs action. Not all zombie, monster, or serial killer movies count as horror, and not all sci-fi, millitary, or secret agency movies count as action. What I think ultimately defines the movie genre is the personal threat level for your Heroine. If the enemy totally outclasses our heroine without any easy means to dispatch them, it’s most likely a horror movie. On the other hand, if the enemy is strong but you have the means/intent to eliminate them it becomes an action movie. The key factor here is that unknown quality of the enemy, that thing that makes them unstoppable and something to fear more than simply hate.
