What the Audience Expects from Watching a Horror Film

For my first piece of research, I decided to look up what the audience will want from watching a Horror Film, in a way to further understand and categorise my audience. I think the paramount reason for any of the audience to watch a horror film will be to have feelings of shock and terror, and often can be seen as a social genre to watch with friends. This research has helped me to understand the genre more and what I will have to feature in my film to help stick to my target audiences wants and expectations, that would stop my film becoming a financial and critical disaster.
