Horror Films

The film genre, Horror, is a genre who's aim is to frighten its audience. This is done by playing on their fears, fears of things such as the supernatural, serial killers and natural disasters.

Each of these different fears can be categorised into one of the many sub-genres. My group's storyline can be put into two of those categories: Psychological Horror and Serial Killer Horror.

Psychological Horror is a good genre to pick as the plot focuses on the fears in the mind of the protagonist which means that each individual that watches it, brings their own personal fears into play.

Serial Killer Horror is equally as good, because in most of the existing such films, the plot is based around a 'normal' character which makes the notion of it happening in real life, all the more plausible.
