Differences between horror films and thriller.

In our lesson today we distinguished the difference between horrors and thrillers.
Horror:

• Horror films tend to be more gory
• The women are seen as the victims as they are more vulnerable
• The narrative is predictable
• The weapons used are different to add to the shock (usually bladed objects)
• The cast are often younger 
• Horrors are usually set in a suburban setting as it creates a sense of loneliness for the victim(s)
• Adults are often absent or unhelpful which makes it more predictable 
• More recent horrors tend to use a group of people as the victim rather than individual people, they are normally killed one by one.
