Replace integer with word

I receive numbers for the movie genres from an api. Which means, 1 = Action, 2 = Drama, 3 = Horror .... I want to display the genre name instead of the number.How can i do that?

 {{::movie.genre}}

movies have multiple genres so that has to works too. movie genre: 1&2

Can i use a filter like this ?

{{::today | date}}

Thanks in advance

    .filter('genre', function() {
  return function(input) {
    input = input || '';
    var out = '';
    switch(input) {
      case 1:
        out = 'horror';
        break;
      case 2:
        out = 'comedy';
        break;
      default:
        out = input;
    }
    return out;
  };
})
