Part 4 Visual Diary for Exhibit Project
horror film genre
•
- The most popular characters are nearly if not always the villains/ antagonists
- All of the most iconic characters are male or not human.
- Characters have power and control over nearly all situations
- Victims are often archetypes of unlikable character’s (whether on purpose or not) and make bad decisions (based on the knowledge of the audience) that make them un-relatable and therefor disposable.
- Villains do whatever they want often without repercussions, and if there are any, such as “dyeing” or being imprisoned they simply will escape and/or come back again
- Villains in this genre are also the most common to “win”
- Characters vary from being very intelligent (Hannibal Lecter) to the opposite (Jason Voorhees)
