Genre: Psychological Horror

We chose to make our movie a psychological horor as we looked at other genres and found this particular genre was our favourite. We like the use of settings in many different trailers and the music used. The use of the eerie music made us want to create our own as our main task.
Psychological horror: a subgenre of horror fiction that relies on character fears, guilt, beliefs, eerie sound effects, relevant music and emotional instability to build tension and further the plot. Psychological horror is different from the type of horror found in "splatter films," which derive their effects from gore and violence, and from the sub-genre of horror-of-personality, in which the object of horror does not look like a monstrous other, but rather a normal human being, whose horrific identity is often not revealed until well into the work, or even at the very end.
