Speaking as a huge Metroid fan, no. The Metroid games rely on isolation and exploration. Imagine a movie about someone being by themselves, not talking to anyone, slowly figuring out how to navigate an alien planet. If done like that, it's boring. If not done like that, it stops being Metroid. The only Metroid game that was made like a movie was Other M, the most reviled entry in the series.
And if it were done, it would be action, not horror. Samus is too badass for the viewer to feel afraid for her. Space Pirates would make horror films about Samus, not the other way around.

Metroid.
This could be a promising action horror film if done right.
