Horror
Horror films are mainly aimed at men and women aged 15-25 this is because men, more than women, like the thrill and excitement you feel when you watch this genre. The audience watch the film in the comfort of their own home, so they feel protected and safe, however still amerce themselves in the world of the horror movie. Although many people think men watch more horror, a study has shown otherwise. Roy Morgans results show that women watch more horror than men with 58% of the audience females and 42% being men, this could be that women like the feeling of being protected by the alpha male protagonist and therefore connects with the story more than men. Most men usually watch horror films for the gore and violence and the thrill however women get a sense of security which conforms to the traditional stereotype that men are strong and brave and protect women from danger. Horror films are designed to take people out of their comfort zones and put them in an environment which is quite frightening to them however still can watch from their cozy front room.
