Horror Thrillers

When we start looking at what are target audience will be we have considered the target audiences of other horror thrillers ;

The Unborn

The audience for The Unborn was ; 51% Male and 49% Female. The Age Was 15 - 24yr olds 54%, 25 - 34 yr 26% and 35 + 20 %. The social class split of the audience was AB 19% , C1 37% ,C2 15% and DE 29% (Statistics from Pearl and Dean Website)

The Eye

The Audience for The Eye was ; again 51% male and 49% female. The age was 15-24 54% , 25-34 26% and 35+ 20% , the results again the same as The Unborn. The social class split of the audience was AB 19% , C1 37% ,C2 15% and DE 29% (Statistics from Pearl and Dean Website), again exactly the same.
When studying the results for horror thrillers from the pearl and dean website many of them were the same or very similar. i also found that the genre is not receiving a main stream audience but is more a niche genre of Aspirer's and Adventurers (unless big name Hollywood stars are in the film for example part of the success of the horror Mirrors (fall 2008) i s down to the casting of Kieffer Sutherland).
