So Alien isn't horror? Or anything with a (more) feasible monster?

In an action film there is a threat and the protagonist can fight back against it

In a thriller there is a threat and the protagonist has hope for fighting back against it

In a horror there is a threat and the protagonist has no hope of fighting back against it

It's a scale of individual control over the situation

I think aliens qualify as non human

No they arent. A movie like Das Boot has great suspense but its not a thriller.

Hes saying Alien is horror, aliens are supernatural/non-human.

One is scary and the other not scary.
