Horror

"Situational," if that's a thing? Especially with surreal elements.

Curve short film as example. I'm existentially afraid of spillways now.

Another example which is body horror on the surface, but the situation is the real scary thing as you find out alongside the main character exactly how fucked up things are in his world and how betrayed he is by authority: Operator (link is to the 2nd in the series, but that's the one where the plot takes off)

Pop culture examples:

• Doctor Who (2005– series) S04E10 "Midnight"
• Enigma of Amigara Fault (yeah it became a meme but it fuckin got to me)
• Triangle (2009 film)
• Get Out
• Twilight Zone (Peele series) S01E06 "Six Degrees of Freedom"
