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.

True. The 'Psycho' and 'American Psycho' movies are often classed as Horror movies and Black Comedy Horror movies and you don't always need to have supernatural elements for it to be a Horror movie (although it was later revealed the ghost of Norman Bates' Mother was possessing Norman's bodies to commit the murders) and you could have spiders or prey mantises as the villains if you wanted to but I believe most of the best Horror movies have supernatural elements in them.
