Although Universal pictures has distributed many
successful films, very few of these were well known horror
films. This could be a problem when distributing my film as
they have not had much experience with paranormal
horror films.

14. Netflix

programs and films all for a fixed monthly rate. As Netflix has
become more and more popular, there are larger amounts of films
and TV shows being released exclusively to the website.

as:
Most of these films have been pre released to DVD or
cinema but after were also distributed by Netflix.

16. Who will distribute my film?
I think my film will most benefit from being distributed by
Warner Bros. I think that they have the most to offer as they
have had experience in distributing paranormal horror films
such as ‘The Conjuring’.
I think that this experience will be helpful when it comes to
distributing my film as they know how to attract the right
viewers.
I would also consider distributing my film through Netflix. This
could be a possible option as the website reaches a large
mainstream audience but also has had much experience in
distributing horror films and low budget films.
