Genre theories
• Rick Altman –
His theory suggests that one of the primary pleasures offered to
audiences is the release from cultural rules and regulations. Viewers
can put themselves in a place that would normally be seen to break
moral and legal boundaries – this can be referred to as counter culture
attraction.
• Rick Dyer-
His theory that the genre offers escapism. The escape is encoded in
texts and opposes social tension and inadequacy. This links well with
the sub genre of the slasher, it makes the audience feel part of the film
and like they have to feel the fear as the characters do
• Jackie Stacy –
She has said that Dyers theory needs to be more specific. She believes
that Genres change over time and audience preferences change – this
comes form social and historical changes, not everyone will always
want the same
