There are so many genres this film fits in, and fits well into. It can be considered a comedy, science fiction, or even a fantasy film of sorts. And, I would agree with the other commenters when they say this is more of a thriller than a horror film. When it started, I thought it was more of a comedy more than anything, but it quickly and efficiently got to the main meat of the film.
Although I really liked the aesthetic of the poster, I was given the expectation of something different. That said, however, I was certainly not let down by this incredible movie.
I thought it was interesting that there existed a world-wide organization set up to appease the ancient gods. Each culture they showed had a unique way of accomplishing the same goal, and Japan even appeased their god without sacrificing a bunch of kids. I found it weird that that was still considered a failure.
I had the impression, leading up until the final moment, that the wolf and admin being thrown into the pit would have counted towards the "fool" sacrifice. I suppose that was designated for one person, and the world ended up being destroyed by the creature attached to the giant arm. After that, it's very open to interpretation what happens next but I'm pretty sure it's doom. HA!
Overall, though, the cinematography was nice and the story did a good job of progressing quickly, without seeming like it was "all over the place." The genre assignment could do with some revision, though I can't pinpoint a single, specific one. Perhaps thriller? The acting was good and awesome seeing Thor in this, even if he did die rather quickly!
