The audience of horror films are interested mostly due to the thrills and the adrenaline rush from being fearful and seeing gore. The age demographic for horror films is usually teenagers and young adults, which is what we decided our target audience for 'The Chain Mail' would be.
Mostly horror films are reviewed negatively with adults, yet sell well with teenagers as they find the terror and killings appealing. Because of this, most horror films are targeted directly towards the teen demographic rather than an older audience, which is another reason why we decided that teenagers would be our target audience.
Horror films such as Final Destination and Saw are popular amongst teenagers because they appeal to teenagers. Though they may be targeted towards an adolescent crowd, older generations still enjoy the horror genre.
Linking back to my questionaires, it was revealed that male gender teenagers watch horror films much more than female gender teenagers do. I believe that our film is targeted at both gender audiences as either gender could find themselves in the situation that the girls in 'The Chain Mail' are in.
Basic understanding.
