We went on Play.com a popular website for films, music etc. We looked at the film Insidious (2010) a paranormal film and looked at the reviews of the film. The majority of comments have given the film 5/5 ratings with good positive feed back and how popular sub-genre of paranormal movies are. We also looked on the top sellers of horror movies and Insidious was ranked third top seller. WHich is a high rating and also allows us to bring in a new paranormal film that will be more successful than Insidious.
We also looked up a different sub-genre of horror, Thriller/Slasher at the film Scream 4 (2011) as you can see the reviews written about scream 4 aren't positive. Majority of comments were 1 or 2/5 ratings. This shows that this sub-genre of horror isn't as successful as paranormal. Also Scream 4 was ranked 71/100 best seller.
