I'd expect a movie to push the horror angle.

Not to mention the fact that the team has long had connections to the fantastical and horrific elements of the Marvel universe (Asgard, almost everything having to do with Illyana). Personally, I think it's great to see an attempt at supernatural horror in a superhero film. After all, taking on existing genres and tropes and giving them a superhero-y tweak is why the Marvel movies have been pretty consistently good (barring personal opinion, of course).

This pretty much sums up my opinion and take on it too, of course that's not to say others opinions are wrong, just different. But to me, does it feel different than your standard superhero/X-Men movie? Absolutely..but that doesn't mean it will be disappointing. To me the thing to remember is (if they were in real life) mutants are not just people who are fighting persecution while fighting villains; they are also fighting persecution while not fighting them as well, put them in any situation and they are still mutants. The standard genre of superhero movies has simply seemed the easiest way to highlight their powers, doesn't mean we can't go down different paths. Deadpool already halfhearted did that, I don't mean it was a halfhearted movie, it was half comedy and half standard superhero movie.
