I will burn on this hill. It's a mystery/suspense film.

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

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.
