You're referring to movies that were made over 50, and 40 years ago! The horror genre classifications were different in that era, then what they are today. The Exorcist was initially categorized as horror since its first theatrical release in 1973, because the movie contained numerous depictions of horrific acts, monstrous images of demonic possessions. The Others didn't have any of those grotesque murder psychopaths, that were portrayed in The Exorcist, Rosemary's
Baby, and Psycho. I've never heard, nor seen The Innocents.
