The film has various factors that create the specific genre. For example, is kind of a mix of taut suspense thriller with mystery and horror. Also, a cop drama.
I can say this because of the elements/conventions found on particular scenes, as for example on monday's one, when the policemen found the crime of the fat man being murdered after being forced to eat until his stomach bursts.

Quentin Tarantino
1) Two distinctive features of his films are that, for example, he makes really very sudden violent scenes, with lots of murders and blood. And also, his movies are humorous, clever, and with the presence of quick dialogues.
2) He learned by being a video clerk (therefore not as a film-school student).
3) Because they claimed that he produced many unnecessary aggressive images, and due to that they only focus on criticize him for a supposed plagiarism.
4) Crime Thriller
5) POV: makes the audience feel as a character. Pulp Fiction image of when Marsellus wakes up after being hit by Butch's car.
Low-angle shot: shows Jules and Vincent (in Pulp Fiction) opening the trunk of the car searching for weapons. The viewer gets curious about what's inside the trunk.
Extreme close-up: focuses the viewer to concentrate in the mouth and what it says. Mia's lips in Pulp Fiction.
6) The 'mirror shot' represents the other face/side, the "double" of the character, by the reflection in the mirror.
Here, an example: Vincent in Pulp Fiction.
7) a) The name given to a shot showing a situation where more than two characters point each other with guns.
b) It was invented by an italian-american film director called Sergio Leone in the movie 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', a classic from 1966 and one of Tarantino's favorites.
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
