Genre choice

I have decided to base my film opening and genre research on the "Slasher" sub genre film.
Slasher films are normally based around the elements of a human (to a certain degree) killing other people in gruesome and dark ways, the plot normally unfolds throughout the film and the killer's purpose is often revealed to be quite disturbing and shocking.
The killer is often armed with a knife, axe, machete or any sharp cutting instrument, this is the reason for the name Slasher. 
The general audience for Slasher films are young adults ageing from 16-18, this is due to graphic content and threatening imagery.

Example Slasher Films :-

Halloween  











Nightmare on Elm Street












The Hills have Eyes
