THIS IS MY POWER POINT ON GENRE RESEARCH.

1. Genre Research
By Alicia Devine

2. • The Film Genre I have choose is Horror film is a genre that aims to create a sense
of fear, panic, alarm, and dread for the audience. These films are often unsettling
and rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and
nightmares. Horror films usually centre on the arrival of an evil force, person, or
event. Many Horror films include mythical creatures such as ghosts, vampires, and
zombies. Traditionally, Horror films incorporate a large amount of violence and
gore into the plot. Though it has its own style, Horror film often overlaps into
Fantasy, Thriller, and Science-Fiction genres.

3. • A slasher film is a subgenre of horror film, and at times thriller, typically involving a
mysterious psychopathic killer stalking and killing a sequence of victims usually in a
graphically violent manner, often with a cutting tool such as a knife or axe.
Although the term "slasher" may be used as a generic term for any horror movie
involving graphic acts of murder, the slasher as a genre has its own set of
characteristics which set it apart from related genres like the splatter film.
