Horror Is a
very popular and fascinating genre of film. It creates an impact on the
audience which is said to ‘play with your fears’ and also interlinks themes
such as fantasy, supernatural and thriller.
Horror first
began in the late 1890’s with the first film being Le Manor du Diable, which
was made in silence.
Over the
years horror has become increasingly popular and reached the top of the box
offices. Films such as Nosferuta, is an example of early day hits.
Around the
1970’s the horror genre began to become more popular than before, especially
after the film ‘The exorcist’ was released. More people began to like the genre
due to the fascination from watching this!
The 1980’s
was the most prominent year for the horror genre as this is where everyone was
wanting to go and see horror movies and therefore later in this decade, the
films became available on television as well!
Films such as ‘Nightmare on elm street’ were released.
In the 1990’s
The Blair Witch project attracted a wider audience as a result of the fear and
mental disturbance from this film.
Horror is now one the most captivating and highest gross film genre around. Many films made now are remakes of old film which are made scarier through the use of more technology such as CGI.
