A large and heterogeneous group of films that, via the representation of disturbing and dark subject matter, seek to elicit responses of fear, terror, disgust, shock, suspense, and, of course, horror from their viewers. Horror is a protean genre, spawning numerous subgenres and hybrid variants: gothic horror, supernatural horror, monster movies, psychological horror, splatter films, slasher films, body horror, comedy horror, and postmodern horror. ...
Horror films present unpleasant experiences, but usually do so in a way that renders them pleasurable and safe: the fact that people seem to enjoy being frightened has given rise to work on and in fandom, cognitivism, phenomenology, and haptic visuality. Horror remains a prolific genre, with commercial fare such as the Saw franchise (US, 2004–10) drawing in large numbers of (predominantly young) cinema goers. The success of Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredsson, Sweden, 2008), the Twilight saga (US, 2008–[2012]), and the television series True Blood (US, 2008–[2014]), demonstrate that vampirism is an enduring preoccupation.
