The movie is about a cult that sacrifices people. A ton of horror movies involve the main character(s) figuring out a mystery with a ton of suspense along the way and the horror being revealed at the end.
I'd very much like to know why you think it isn't horror? I can understand why you attribute mystery/suspense to it, but that doesn't preclude it being horror. What are examples of movies you do consider horror?

A movie can be more than one genre. It can be both a mystery and a horror film.

It is. You're wrong. It's literally the pinnacle of folk horror.

What critical elements of horror is it lacking? Gore? Jump scares?
