Genre
 Horror/Thriller
 Thrillers are usually mind movies, where there is usually a weird
twist. A lot of thrillers are psychological and don't have a lot of
action in them. They're tense and scary without being horror movies.
Horror movie should contain fear, suspense, unexpected surprises
that make you jump, story twists, history and depth in the plot, an
element of mystery and pychology, a twist of humour can be
excellent.

I think these two Genres can fit our Film the best. We just need to
decide on which actually fits the best. Personaly, i think it should be
Horror as theres a element of fear and unexpected surprises.
Movies in the Thriller Genre
 Psycho (1960) - Alfred Hitchcock was the director of this
film. This was a famous film as it made people scared
about taking a shower. Anthony Perkins stars as Norman
Bates, he is a lonely man with a bad relationship with his
mother.

Vertigo (1958) - A retired cop with a fear of heights. A

man is hired to keep tabs on a wife of a freind and to
discover the cause of her recent erratic behaviour. It is
was also directed by Alfred Hitchcock and it is arguble
that it could one of the best movies he has ever made.
