Conclusion
As you can see from the evidence given, there is very little interest in the 'slasher' genre. The reason for this being that there is a bigger hype in supernatural and more jumpy films. therefore, we have chosen to go with the 'Slasher' genre for our horror film. Going with this specific kind of film will hopefully bring back the hype for 'Slasher'. In our opening title sequence, we will include lots of blood scenes and uncomfortable moments. This will be effective because, it will make the audience feel uncomfortable, however it will make them want to watch more and engage them more in the film. Slashers have to included eerie moments to build tension. if the slasher is face paced, it may confuse the audience or make them lose sight of what is happening. As you can see from the top 4 films above, the number one film is a Supernatural. This supports our theory that supernatural films are the top rating films.
