It's "not really a risk" for the reasons you stated? It seems like those would all be arguments in favor of it being a bold move, innit? If it's indeed (a) a "horror film" about (b) X-Men characters that (c) nobody's heard of, doesn't each one of those things exponentially increase the risk? Horror movies are generally marketed at a slightly older audience, precluding some younger viewers; not everyone likes the X-Men or feels abreast enough of their films to "jump on" with a new movie, just like any other series with sequels in the double digits; movies about familiar, established characters generally have a built-in baseline audience, which is why Hollywood keeps churning them out. So I think it's definitely risky. And I thank you for substantiating that point, good sir! So if genre-bending is a risk for Fox superhero films, why isn't it a risk for Marvel films? It's a political thriller, but also a Captain America movie. It's a space opera, but also a Marvel movie. It's a supernatural film, but also a Marvel movie. Nah, there's a difference between incorporating elements from other genres and taking the types of "all-in" risks Fox did with Logan and, according to you, New Mutants.
