The aim of a horror genre film is to develop a sense of fear
with the audience in order to alarm panic and disorientate them. Horror films
are one of the biggest film genres because of the wide variety of ideas that
can be used. Common horror film ideas are mainly based on people’s fears,
supernatural or the paranormal plus gore and blood are main common factors in
horror films.
In 2010 the horror genre was ranking 8th gross
box office genre with comedy taking first place with sex in the city 2. Horror
came 8th with paranormal 2, which had been released that year. In
total the horror genre made £54.1 million 2011 with 31 site releases and an
average of £11,624 per site within the horror genre leaving it about halfway up
the genre table.in comparison the horror genre had only made up for nearly 6%
of all the that year releases compared to nearly 28% for Drama releases.
In 2011, the Horror genre had dropped to 11th place in the best
performing genre. The genre released 32 films, which is 1 more than the previous
year. Two of the top three genres are the same from 2010 however they made more
money in comparison to the horror genre which made one more film then previous and
made nearly £24million less at the box office then the previous year. The
Horror genre made fewer releases than the top 2 genres however two of the
genres above it both released just 5 films and still managed to rank above the
horror genre. The Horror Genre had only made up 5.7% of all releases in 2011
and made up of 3.3% of the total box office for that year.
