Horror genre
The genre Horror attempts to elect negative thinking and a primeval sense of self defence in its purist form. The objective of a 'scary movie' or horror movie is both to scare, and to thought provoke negative and life threatening ideas and concepts based on suggestive cinematography and mise-en-scene. Horror films aim to base their scare on the audiences individual fears, where as in reality the fears are shared by most of the audience. Respectively to their field, horror movie producers spend much time, money and effort into the reasearch of 'scare'. Horror movies will often resort to tactics including 'evil forces', 'hidden fears', and the use of a 'super-natural' beings that are un-explained, to allow the audience to make the 'scare' leap. Horror movies, when not using special digital effects, they often rely on a set-list of characters and horror-types to scare: ghosts, aliens, vampires, werewolves, curses, satanism, demons, gore, torture, vicious animals, monsters, zombies, cannibals, and serial killers, are the norm for most horror storys. Horror was believed to be born in France in the late 1890's in specifically 1898 by film pioneer Georges Méliès best known by 'Le Manoir du diable', which is often credited as being the first horror film. The genre horror then quickly travelled outside europe into Japan, who made early forays into the horror genre with 'Bake Jizo' and 'Shinin no Sosei', both made in 1898. Then on top the 1930's & 1940's where James Whales 'Frankenstein' was born, and on to the present day.
