Horror Film Audience
Mostly the horror genre is
targeted at both genders that are aged 15 and 25 but it depends on what the
horror film contains and what the certificated age is of the certain film.
However it appeals to a lot of teenagers because they enjoy the gore and being
scared whilst watching the film, it also deliberately allows the audience to
revisit the fears of their childhood. The audience may have a boring and an
uneventful lifestyle, which may encourage them to watch horror film as it
creates a exciting feeling so it helps them escape their daily lives.
I think that there will be
more males than female who like horror movies because they’re not easily scared
or grossed out by the themes. Horror films are seen as a typical date movie
because it allows the male to protect the females who are easily scared.
This table shows that most viewers were teenagers or people in their
20-30’s who went to watch the Women in Black in the theatre, this could be as younger
people need the intense stimulation and aren’t easily scared by the violence in
horror films whilst older people often lack this. Majority of the audience were
working class this could be because stereotypically the lower class tends to
prefer being thrilled.
