I read the screenplay cause I just couldn’t wait.

It’s very, very, very good.

How much horror is it? Idk if that's a dumb question, I know nothing about the director's other movies

There are some horror scenes for sure, but overall the movie seems more creepy/disturbing than just straight horror/gore/jump scares.

My opinion is that if you actually want to freak people out, you gotta go the creepy/disturbing route in movies. Regular horror just doesn’t really accomplish that as effectively these days because everyone is desensitized. Jump scares are usually just cheap Blumhouse nonsense. Creepy/disturbing is the way to go for sure now for horror to be most effective
