AitD1 was defenetly an action/adventure in its classical, innovative form (same as Another World or LBA). AitD 2-4, Silent Hill and especially RE are all action games as they concentrate on monster killing. Good storyline is not enough to call a game an "adventure".
Some games, like Ecstatica 1 or the recent Call of Cthulhu also have a lot of adventure elements. And Clock Tower have almost no action in it. "Survival horror" is not about running and killing monsters, but sadly it's popular as it is..
