Who is our Target Audience?

The typical target audience or Psychological Horror are people who are interested in the thrill from the adrenaline rush from the fear that is meant to be portrayed in these movies. the usual age demographic is teenagers and young adults ranging from about 15-30 years old, but that doesn't necessarily mean that people younger or older than those ages cannot enjoy them too. Psychological Horrors appeals to both gender demographics because it is not aimed at any specific gender- alternatively it is focused on allowing the audience to experiment with their fears and emotions. Stereotypically, men enjoy the gore and violence, while women enjoy the suspense and entertainment.

Why?
The film will normally used detailed plots with events that get the audience thinking or on the edge of their seats that includes plot twists the the fear of the film.
Most horror films are reviewed negatively due to the reviews being written by an older audience. However, if a teenager were to review it, the review would be more well done. This is due to the film being targeted at that specific audience.
Films such as "Final Destination" are popular amongst teenagers because it appeals to them, due to the fact that the focus, in those films, is focused on young adult life.
