>They were all nominated for Best Picture and/or Best Actor/Actress at the Oscars so they get called thrillers instead.
This was especially prevalent in the 90s and 2000s because studios thought they could increase rentals and critic approval by labeling their more prestige horror movies as thrillers.
Most people probably aren't aware of this but David Fincher himself and Andrew Kevin Walker (the writer) have both stated many times that they consider Se7en to be a horror film disguised as a thriller and New Line Cinema deliberated over whether or not they should market it as one at first. Their approach to it as a horror movie is why they fought the studio so hard to keep the ending that we got.
Then there's someone like James Cameron who has also always maintained that the first Terminator film is a horror/slasher film and Darren Aronofsky has also said he intended for Black Swan to be a horror film back when he made the press tour promoting its release. He even said the same thing for Requiem for a Dream.
It's the same with vidya like Doom and RE4 where the creators themselves have come out and said repeatedly over the years that they intended for those games to be action games but also horror games at the same time but that's still not good enough for some evidently.
