Horror Genre 500 word essay
The “horror” genre is a very interesting genre of movie in my opinion because it often uses a lot of non-diegetic sounds to build up suspense in particular, music. This allows our mind to know when a jump scare or something scary is about to happen within the movie. This makes the genre an interesting one because even though we know exactly what is about to happen it still makes us jump, so this means that the “horror” genre is affecting our minds psychologically. The horror genre is also interesting and this is because within horror movies there is only two ways the movie ends or the last movie of a sequel which is that the murderer gets away with it and then lives on, or the murderer murders all but one who gets away and the murderer then gets caught. Horror movies is also an interesting genre because all or at least most horror movies have the shared conventions that they are often set in small and isolated areas and buildings and also the bad guy in the movie has a specialist weapon or mask such as Mike Myers and his knife and ghost face and his mask or even hell raiser, it and much more evil horror movie villains.
Another way that the horror genre is a very interesting genre of movie is because in our minds we know that horror movies are not real and it’s all fake and made up however during the movie we still jump and no-one really knows why and it affects our minds constantly and movies always make us think different questions however horror movies make us think the same question every time as to why do we get scared when we know that it what is happening in the movie is not actually real, which is why, in my opinion I find the horror genre a very interesting one. Another reason I find the horror movie genre a very interesting genre of movie is because unlike most movies of a genre the plots can be very much more unique and different than most other genres like spy, action, sci-fi movies share the same plots and even more so rom-coms share the same plot nearly every time and feature the same actors such as Hugh Grant. In particular one horror movie that has a totally unique plot to any other is Sinister as he watches videos and finds a murderer that doesn’t actually kill people himself but gets into the kids minds and gets them to murder the family and takes the kids into his own world/universe behind the screen of a video and records them to show future residents of that house that magically reappear in whichever attic of a house that he lives in no matter where he goes. This is why overall I find the horror genre a very unique and interesting genre of movie.
