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.
