The conclusive part of the outbreak narrative is what keeps film viewers at the edge of their seats; what draws faces into the depths of the horror novels.

Martin Scorsese’s alteration of the Dennis Lehane novel‚ Shutter Island‚ is in fact a horror movie‚ but it will not come across as your average present-day horror film. Typically directors take ghosts‚ monsters‚ vampires‚ or possessed people and develop a film to scare its viewers‚ and it more than likely always does. The average horror film filled with a group of “hills have eyes looking” creatures is always scary‚ but there’s a sense of comfort knowing that

It’s a brutal‚ exhausting‚ and genuinely horrifying little ghost flick that really makes me rethink my stance on horror films altogether. “Paranormal Activity” has wonderful performances and excellent direction that sell the packaged found footage concept depicting a supernatural occurrence that inevitably ruins a happy couple. “Paranormal Activity” has become a

Stephen King‚ the author of “Why We Crave Horror Movies”‚ argues that young people watch horror films because they want to experience certain emotions; for example‚ catharsis—the purging of emotions or relieving of emotional tensions‚ especially through certain kinds of art.
