The horror genre continues to be the peoples favorite, mainly because of its ability to captivate their interest in fear and the paranormal world. Directors such as Jordan Peele, Ari Aster and James Wan have played a big role in creating horror by experimenting with fresh approaches to produce terror.
The lasting popularity of horror comes from its ability to attract a large range of people. Particularly attracts the young adults who appreciate the excitement of being scared midlessly! Movies such, as It (2017) for instance, perfectly showcase the captivating mix of supernatural aspects that keep the viewers hooked and have earned $700 million at the box office.
Horror movies usually involve a group of characters ( typically adults) dealing with creepy events, in most cases. The plots in these movies often revolve around one or two characters confronting or discovering a presence, similar to how The Conjuring demonstrates paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren confronting a demon attached to a family and their house. In some movies, horror narratives might focus on a character facing fears that reflect the terror present in their surroundings, just like in the movie Hereditary.
Horror stories cover a spectrum; from the supernatural, to aspects where genuine reactions can make the feeling of authenticity better in the film. Characters react with fear that gives credibility to the danger lurking within the story. When horror adds elements of fantasy such as a doll like Annabelle, characters reactions anchor the fear, in reality.
Techniques used in horror movies focus on setting the mood with lighting and shadows while incorporating sound effects to create suspense by usingng moments of silence and slow pacing for maximum impact. For instance the movie, A Quiet Place, effectively uses silence as a tool to heighten tension and increase the sense of fear.
Movies such as The Shining and Get Out highlight the aspects of horror films. In The Shining, a sense of fear is created through its setting and visuals that depict a dive into madness, while Get Out blends social themes, with psychological terror to make a deeply personal fear emphasized by the iconic close up image of the characters distressed expression.
