No. I think they are Thrillers. They lack the supernatural elements to be considered Horror to me.

Is "supernatural elements" essential to be called a Horror? I agree these two films aren't Horror, but I'm sure there are films that are indisputably classified as Horror that don't contain any supernatural elements. I'm no expert though, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Not necessarily. The characters can be victimized by several non-supernatural entities such as serial killers, animals, and extraterrestrials.
