To start off, the most obvious aspect of the horror genre that is in this film is vampires as they are a supernatural creature. The Vampires in the film are what you would expect; blood-sucking beasts with their sharp teeth, which sleep upside down, cast no reflection and who are afraid of sunlight. But that’s not all of it.…
A genre such as supernatural horror is meant for an audience that desires to feel that rush of adrenaline running through their bodies. The purpose of this genre is to satisfy the curiosity of people that let their minds wander off about the supernatural world. The audience expects to get goosebumps, and to be on the edge of their seats while chewing their nails. If that is what a movie of this genre causes the audience, then the producers have done their job correctly. A supernatural horror movie targets and expands upon the audience's fear. Therefore, the supernatural genre has to frighten you in order for the film to be scary.…
The film industry is an industry that has many demands from its audience. The writers of modern movies have a great task to ensure that their story lines are not recycled or reused.

This is fun with a twist, macabre and voyeuristic, and enjoyed from the particular vantage point of knowing that it is not real, and more importantly, that it cannot happen to us. The thrill of a horror movie allows not only a suspension of reality, but also of the cynical, jaded view of reality that we feel, as adults, we must bring to bear on our lives.…
Films that I particularly favor are thrillers. One reason Thrillers become so enjoyable for me, a sense of diversion is created making the viewers more indulge in the movie all the way to the ending. The plots are usually twisted, climatic, suspenseful and intelligence is often use far as the writing perspective to result in an ecliptic viewing of the movie. A really great thriller will usually bring a shock factor by the climax, then the movie will receive a better understanding from the beginning to end. Another genre of films I enjoy are Musicals they are fashionable and express emotions through singing. I am really into lyricism so I enjoy comparing the actual expression of the each character's individual story and the progression…
With the large variety of interests that flourish within the society, it is no shock that genres exist, especially in film, as the definition of entertainment differs from person to person. A genre is a category of films that are characterised by similarities in the narrative elements and conventions found within the films. Genres are extremely useful to both film producers and audiences as it helps them narrow down the target audience and search for films that are in their range of interests. No one wants to watch a political drama overrun with teenagers or go into a cinema with the intentions of watching a romantic comedy, only to receive blood and gore instead.…
Horror movies test us on our fears, desires and mentality. As from the king’s thesis, “the reason we all crave horror movies is because we are all mentally ill”.

They want to prove to themselves that they are brave and that they fear nothing. People always try to prove certain things true when they are not that sure of themselves.

What makes a good movie? Many things can contribute to making a movie good, like the actors, plot, type of movie, the writing, special effects, its budget and so forth. But it actually depends on the person because one person may think a movie is good, and then the other may think it was a waste of their time.

In fact, Paul J. Patterson, Ph.D., assistant professor of English and co-director of Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation Studies at Saint Joseph’s University explains that, “You can see throughout history how each generation has defined ‘horror,’ and it turns largely on the idea of something outside of our understanding threatening us. Books and films allow us to imagine or experience our desire to defeat what is hunting and haunting us on a splashy canvas.” In other words, watching horror films help the viewers face their fears without confronting it physically. More like they’re facing it mentally as they watch characters fight for their lives and face their own demons. As part of the human condition we experience fear, nearly everyone is afraid of the same thing, death.…
Racism, a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others (“racism”), has been a significant problem for decades. In the 1960’s, Martin Luther King Jr., a U.S. civil rights leader, was assassinated, which lead to an upsurge in animosity between the Caucasian and African American people.…

Horror has used a lot of same subjects such as psychopath murderers and mysterious monsters.…
