Horror isn't a genre I'm all that fond of, but there are exceptions - 'Dead Space' is one, 'Resident Evil' was another (was, as in, I generally lost interest post-RE5), and using films as an example, absolutely love 'Alien'. That said, I wouldn't really classify Shadow Realms as horror. Horror, IMO, is a psychological term rather than a visceral one. So while the trailer shows things like demons and whatnot, it's without that psychological aspect that the above examples feature(d).

What puts me off is the genre of it being "urban fantasy" or "low fantasy," as in, a real-world setting with fantastical elements. There's nothing wrong with this genre and certainly there's examples of it that I like (e.g. 'Harry Potter'), but, well, going by the lore elements, let's just say I'm far more interested in what happens to Embra rather than Earth. On the fantasy spectrum, I gravitate more towards the "high" than the "low" end.

(There really needs to be better genre terms to use 0_0).
