Common Features

The common features of horror are dark sets, bloody scenes and some great make up and costumes. many horror movies use video editing to add things in that are not physically possible to create on set.

This is an example of some video editing has you can see at 0.19 - 0.22 seconds.

Horror movies sometimes have over exaggerated deaths, where there is tons of blood and limbs falling off.

at 3.29 you can see the blood falling from his face and that the cuts are deep.

horror movies are defined as movies that scared you and make you feel very uncomfortable. some have a lot of blood and can get very detailed.

horror is similar to some action movies, where there is always a main character that survives and saves the day. horror movies are also very different because action movies mostly make you feel good and it has a lot of fighting and effects. eg cars flying throw windows, explosions. horror doesn't really have bombs and guns, it has a lot of unnatural things like ghosts or zombies.
