Information about our selected Genre!! - Horror/Thriller o:

Horror films are a movie genre seeking to provoke a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's most primal fears. They often feature scenes that astonish the viewer through the means of ghoulish and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also overlap with the thriller genre. Horror films deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden worst fears, revulsions and fear of the unknown. 

Although a good deal of it is about the supernatural, if some films contain a plot about morbidity, serial killers, a disease/virus outbreak and they may be termed “horror”.Plots written within the horror genre often involve the interruption of an evil force, event, or celebrity, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Themes or elements often prevalent in typical horror films include ghosts, torture, gore, werewolves, ancient curses, Satanism, demons, vicious animals, vampires, cannibals, haunted houses, zombies and serial killers. Conversely, stories of the supernatural are not necessarily always a horror movie as well. 

Early horror movies are largely based on nineteenth-century literature of the gothic genre, such as Universal's Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (also 1931), and the term "horror movie" first appears in the writings of critics and film industry commentators in response to their release, but the term has since been applied with hindsight to similar films from the entire silent period. The conventions used in a horror movie included death, villans, weapons, blood, killing, victims, chasing sequences, haunted houses, isolated settings, gore, monsters, evil, violence, scream and ghosts. This all makes the audience thrilled and scaryed.
