Horror genre



Horror films are made to frighten the audience; they often invoke our own hidden worst fears. They use a wide range of styles, from the early silent films to today’s CGI monsters and crazy humans. Horror films often have a terrifying shocking finale which captivates and entertains the audience. Horror films are often combined with science fiction, where the monster/ villain is related to a corrupted corporation, or earth is threatened by aliens. They can also be combined with fantasy and supernatural genres.
