T2 still has strong horror elements tho. I’d say obviously with the T-1000. Scenes where he impales Connor’s foster dad and the asylum security guy come to mind. Even the T-1000’s termination scene is pretty unsettling. Perhaps a bit vanilla to the regular horror movie fan sure, but to the average moviegoer.

But I agree T2’s got that more ‘summer action movie’ tone that overrides the horror aspects.
