There's definitely an air of humor to the movie but it's not geared towards hilarity and actually does take itself seriously while also having a sense of humor. It's a horror movie with some comedy in it....not a horror comedy.

It doesnt 'casually rip off' 50's sci- fi, its a tongue in cheek homage to classic sci- fi, its also really fucking funny... A subtle comedy is still a comedy. The fact that you don't see it as a comedy or don't think its 'comedic' is besides the point. If I applied your rationale to comedy then anything I didn't find funny or deem to have enough comedic moments in wouldn't fit into the genre of comedy, which seems a little obtuse.
