What is a Horror?

A horror film is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear and fright for the audience. Therefore thee films rely of frightening the audience. Generally horror movies are set in dark isolated places such as empty houses, woods and abandoned ghost towns. Lighting is always most important in a horror film because this sets different moods.
