In conversation, 這個電影 is very common. But, you are right, 這部電影 is more "proper".

In English, you don't say "the movie scary". You say "the movie is scary". 很 also acts as "is" for adjectives.

Actually if you don't add 很 , it may sounds very weird. In conclusion, it is fitted for the habit of the oral Chinese.

恐怖 also means scary too, also need to use proper measure word too. 個 is only used when you have no other option, but movies are measured in 部

I would say 这部电影很恐怖. 可怕 is usually used to describe a person capable of doing terrible things.
