Most horror films involve murder, often with weapons, and take place in dark, isolated settings like homes. They usually feature an antagonist that terrorizes the main characters, killing most by the end while the main character often survives. Conflict is central as the villain threatens the protagonists, who then try to defeat the villain by the conclusion of the film. Sound is used to add suspense through ambient noise of a low pitch.
