My options are split into five main categories: Gore & Disturbing, Psychological, Killer, Monster, and Paranormal. As of now I am leaning more towards Psychological and Killer, mostly because I personally fell that they can be the most realistic and thrilling for the audience. Perhaps some Paranormal, much like the film The Ring (2002). Here are a few sub-divisions of these sub-genres that help narrow down what I can do to follow the basic conventions of the genre.
Psychological
-Madness & Paranoia: similar to slasher films & focuses on the madness of the character instead of focusing on the act of killing itself
-Fanaticism: extreme portrayal of an alternative belief, usually set in a close-knit town
-Phobia & Isolation: uses common fears within the plot, like for example, clowns
Killer:
-Slasher: gruesome murderers usually targeting teens, the murderers are almost always in disguise
-Home Invasion and Survival: invaders are often in disguise, similar to Slashers, the invaders are also very mischievous and cause chaos throughout the film.
These are my two main options, Psychological and Killer, though with these I would like to incorporate either cannibalism or creepy kid because they just add a level of fear to the film that most people can relate to, which is almost like incorporating fanaticism into my piece. I want people to think about how my plot can actually happen and leave it with fear just so I can know for sure that I have done my job.
