Audience Research to Genre

From my research there are so many age groups that like horror/crime movies. But, it's mostly people in their late teens/adult years. The gender for horror movies, there really isn't one as both females/males are just as thrilled by horror movies as each other, but for crime movies from my research they are more popular for males. Horror movies are really popular worldwide,especially in America and Britain. The people who watch horror movies like the idea of being scared, we want to thrill our audience with exciting shots. People who watch horror movies are often harder to please, because they expect to have the biggest reaction when watching the film. The goal is essentially to set up a good number of characters very quickly by purveying racial, sociological, and cultural stereotypes so that the audience immediately knows how to feel the second they see these characters. People who often get amused or entertained by the unusual/unrealistic incidents tend to love horror movies. Horror films are designed to elicit strong emotional reactions from viewers, including fear and dread; and this they do. Nearly everyone reports having been disturbed at some time by an image from a film or television program. Researchers have identified various motives for viewing horror films, including the need for excitement, the desire to feel intense emotions, and distraction from everyday concerns. Although dramatic films can fulfill some of these needs, movies depicting violence and horror have features that other forms of drama do not, including the violation of social norms and the portrayal of events seldom seen in real life. People rarely view horror films alone. Violent entertainment appeals primarily to males, and it appeals to them mostly in groups. For many young people and adults, horror films are a topic of conversation, a source of shared experience, and a means of self-presentation. Not everyone will like the blood and gore, but many may continue to watch because of other goals, such as demonstrating their ability to tolerate it, or the desire to master the threatening images.
