it's either got to scare the crap out of you or be about a subject related to the horror genre
monsters, stalking killers, maniacs, zombies, ghosts etc.
there has to be elements too
a victim or victims and what they're going through
suspense
a body count is a good element too
here's something I found that could help
Films from the horror genre are designed to elicit fright, fear, terror, disgust or horror from viewers. In horror film plots, evil forces, events, or characters, sometimes of supernatural origin, intrude into the everyday world. Horror film characters include vampires, zombies, monsters, serial killers, and a range of other fear-inspiring characters. Early horror films often drew inspiration from characters and stories from classic literature, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, The Phantom of the Opera and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Horror films have been criticized for their graphic violence and dismissed by film critics as low budget B-movies and exploitation films. Nonetheless, some major studios and respected directors have made forays into the genre, and more recent generations of critics have analyzed horror films. Some horror films draw on other genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, black comedy, and thrillers.

A movie can be horror because much of it can be a lot more exaggerate then in what is really happen in real life.

To me a movie really is a horror-movie when the actors manage to make me forget for a while it's just a play, just a movie. ("The Exorcist" managed to do that, and also "The Shining", but not completely, cuz Jack didn't manage to make me forget that he played that fantastic role in "One flew", know what I mean?)

Suspense. Real scary movies are all about suspense and the imagination. These blood and guts movies, except for the brilliant George Romero films "Night of the living Dead", "Day of the Dead" etc, are boring.

When it shows demons and creepy faces. Or if it is a scary looking person people. That's the way I see it.
