JK-Rowlingify?

That being said he's definitely not approaching her level with this statement and I even see what he means; its a movie about mental health, on some level. And struggle against the modern world.

But uh.. it is a horror movie ;P

Honestly he might be marketing himself as someone beyond "just a horror movie director," but that doesn't seem necessary in a world where horror movies are getting Oscar attention.

The world has been linkedin-ated. But I think you're correct. He doesn't want to get trapped doing the same stuff

It does feel more like Sci-Fi for me

It's definitely more than a horror project. But, it's also definitely still horror.

I can see that, it's more creepy than scary, and having a few scary scenes don't automatically qualify a movie as horror.
