Why people enjoy horror films?
There are may different reasons why people enjoy horror movies, for example many people enjoy them because it gives them a thrill that other genres of films do not and it creates a lot of suspense which other films do not do as well as horror films and the the suspense is either converted into a big scare or an anti-scare which a lot of people enjoy because it is hard to expect what is going to happen. also from the suspense made in the films and the tension that they create may people get an adrenaline rush from them which is very good for the entertainment purposes. Also from the horror films and the way that they are made ad the camera skills put into them many people will put themselves into the situation that the character i the scree is doing which gives a lot more excitement also films that do this very well is where the camera is filmed through POV (Point of view), films which do this well are films like The Blair Witch Project and Rec.

Other reasons why people tend to enjoy them so much could be of the fact that they are liked with real lives and the viewer tends to think this could be them by putting themselves in their situation. One of the biggest factors i feel for most people and even me which makes horror films so enjoyable is when you watch them with a group of people e.g. family or friends, the reason why is people tend to react off of other peoples rections which makes it more entertaining as they would probably jump from their screams which is very good. Also people watch the horror films could be because of facing their fears, sor example they may watch the films because they have been pressured by their friends or someone then they have watched it they may feel as if they have accomplished something and feel proud as well as very scared.

In conclusion i feel there are many different ways for why people watch and enjoy horror but i feel the main reason for the horror films is because of the suspence that is built and the thrills that came out of it when there is a scary scene. personally i do enjoy these from horror films but the main aspect for me enjoying horror films is watching it with friends because their reactions are the ones that usual make me jump as i have seen so many horror films i do not tend to jump as i know what is going to happen. Also what makes horror films entertaining for me is that i like it when they have a good plot to it and there is not just a pshycopath running around killing people for no reason. overall i feel as if horror films are very entertaining and fun this is why it has such a broad audience of different types of people and ages.
