Horror film audience

'Slasher' Horror Audience:
Slasher film target audience is usually young couples or young males. The target audience's age is between 15 and 24 because people at this stage are still developing and therefore experiment with different feelings and emotions. Young people often jump into life without guidance looking for a thrill and horror movies gives them that thrill. Young people are also less likely to be put off by the violence in the film or the unnatural images which older audience may view negatively. Also young people are more likely to relate to the characters in the film which makes the audience form stronger emotional connection with the characters which therefore creates a stronger effect of horror.
