The document analyzes data from IMDB to determine the target audience for horror thriller films. It finds that for the film Sinister, those under 18 rated it the highest at 7.5 out of all age groups. Additional research on other popular horror films shows they also received their highest ratings from those under 18, confirming the hypothesis that teenagers under 18 are more interested in horror films than other age groups.

1. Who is our target audience?
On our Facebook page a friend had
asked a vital question, the answer to
which I’m going to expand on in this
Powerpoint.

2. Statistics
I went through
IMDB.com to find out
what age group
enjoyed horror thriller
genre films the most. I
looked at one the
most popular horror
films: Sinister (2012).

3. Analysis
The graph shows that those aged under 18 rated
the film 7.5, this is the highest rating out of all
other age groups. This is justified by the level of
excitement younger people get from watching
horror films, whereas it can also be challenged
by the fact that there were so little votes on the
Aged under 18 in comparison to Aged 18-29.

4. More Stats
In order to confirm my hypothesis that teenagers, under age of 18 were
more interested in horror than other age groups, I researched other
popular horror films, conveniently some of them are horror thrillers.
