Genre of my film

The Genre of my film is Horror. Having this a the genre of my film meant that I still had a range of things that I could use in my film. Horror films have a range of villains. zombies, possessed people, ghosts, cereal killers, haunted dolls and so on.  This meant that I had a range of characters and story lines to choose from. However I wanted to do something different, I wanted to subvert the stereotypes of horror films rather than convert to them and this is why I had a male victim as I wanted my film to be different to every other film having the victims being helpless women. I also had my villain being a female to show her as the strong and powerful character subverting the stereotype of women and girls being weak and less superior to men.
