Audience research
The document provides information about several horror films and their target audiences. It analyzes the Final Destination, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, and The Wolf Man films.

In the opening scene of the film, we are introduced to the Driver, a mysterious getaway driver.

Through low lighting and little dialogue, he is established as a dark and brooding character.
