Maybe a hard sell, but not impossible. Get Out was just nominated for best picture and many other awards just recently.
The problem is that horror films follow formulas and have consistent tropes throughout almost all of them. If any horror film says something unique and new, it gets consideration. It's rare.
I haven't seen the film you're talking about, and I'm sure it's a good film, but you do have to be very unique to get consideration as a horror film.
