Are Ganesh's threads considered: Comedy, Fantasy, or Horror?

It's more about thrills than scares. It's an adventure film, not horror.

There's really not much that would be considered horror. As was mentioned, it's more adventure/action.
If it's horror to you, what elements would you consider horror?

Supernatural elements are not a requirement for horror, and having supernatural elements does not automatically make a film horror.
Horror is any film which is intended to scare the audience.
