Horror Genre


I have created a mood board to show a range of films that fit into the horror genre, such as:

  • Saw
  • The Silence of the Lambs
  • The Conjuring
  • Nosferatu
  • Insidious 
From researching around the genre I have identified that 'horror' has adapted over the years to create a darker, blood-thirsty image in films. When comparing a film such as Psycho to Saw it is noticeable that a modern horror consists of a darker visual aspect. Although the old and new consist of very similar themes and ideas, modern horror films have become a lot more graphic. 
Some sub-genres of horror include:
  • Psychological Horror
  • Slasher
  • Science fiction Horror
  • Comedy Horror
