I don't see it as a horror film. It's too obviously about media violence and it's an indictment rather than a thrill chasing exercise.
I can see it being horrific but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a horror film.
That's my opinion, I understand the reasons why others may feel differently but I agree with Michael Haneke when he says it isn't.

Personally I think it's a purpose made thriller acting as a proclamation against aesthetic violence and is far more disturbing than it is enjoyable.

Austrian cinema is crazy.Anyone ever seen "Michael?"
