I wasn't scared by the movie, but it has a similar dread throughout the movie. There are also some jump scares, and the ending has that 'evil didn't really get defeated' quality.

I would call it existential horror. It has a threat that is beyond understanding and a faith possibly worse than death for some characters.

Apart from that it has great themes. A fantastic movie overall
