Gender• Gender for horror films isn’t set to just one. Bringing to an argument about

what kind of horror movie it may be, it doesn’t matter what gender you are. From the picture below of a “Zombie Walk” you can see that men and woman are doing this, it doesn’t mean that they all love the gory mash up of all horror films but they do like zombies, leading to say that they enjoy watching a zombie films, which is a type of horror film sub genre.

Age• Age varies with horror film for the fact that the majority are 15’s or 18’s,

so that would be the age range but people younger still watch and enjoy them. Lighter horror films which have a jump scares every so often would be the variable for people under 15, but you can’t put an age on whether or not people like horror movies; besides the fact that they should be an age of around 12 before watching a horror movie, so that they aren’t petrified of what they are watching.

Lifestyle• The lifestyle for this particular film follows along the extreme sports

fans along with horror fans. The Descent aims and these two audiences, for the whole plot of the film (going on a caving exploration) it aims at those who enjoy these types of things, rock climbing, gliding, those types of sports. But because the film is horror (with the gory mash of the crawlers) it is also aims at horror film fans.

Spending Power • Spending power affects the people who would like to watch this

film when it would released, this comes under lifestyle as well as itself. If the person wanting to watch the film is into extreme sport then they have a 50/50 chance of having the money for watching it in cinemas, because of the amount of money they would put into the sports over going to the cinema. Horror fans though could have the money to go and watch this film, due to them not spending mass amounts of money on extreme sports. But once the film has been released on dvd then they could afford to buy it rather than going to the cinema on release.
