Movies can be more than one thing.

I see I am not the only one who's pondered Terminator's standing within the horror genre. I see the original as being a horror-adjacent film, but none of the others.

It's not even "adjacent." James Cameron has said that he wanted to make "the ultimate slasher film." The SE DVD included concept art of the Endoskeleton dragging its severed torso along the ground with a butcher knife.

Sci-fi? Check. Action? Check. Horror? Check.
