as the movie is a all female cast, this will appeal to young independent
women as the same type are being shown in the movie. The girls in the
Descent doesn’t have the typical girly stereotypes with the pink, hate being
out in the wild and hate blood. The age range would be around 15-24 years
old as they will have disposable income which would be why it is aimed
towards younger people. They would fit into the E section as they most likely
wont have a job but their it depends on the parents as they can be in any
professions and can be in C1, C2, but t also depends on the disposable
income that they get. According to the Rubicams the main audience is will
mainly be mainstream as horror lovers are stereotyped as females would
watch The Descent with other people to give around the word of mouth to
other people around the age of 15-24. They could also be reformers as they
would like to change how the world thin of women, These women would be
25-34 as they are educated and know what they need to do to get to the
point.
