IMDb is now the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. The website offers a searchable database of more than 185 million data items including more than 3.5 million movies, TV and entertainment programs and 7 million cast and crew members.
Above is the top 5 most popular horror films from the IMDb website. At the top of the list is the film 'IT', a clown film with the sub genre slasher. This therefore shows that the current audience for horror films are enjoying slashers and slasher films are becoming more popular. Due to this we have decided to make our trailer a slasher as it will attract a large audience and increase profit.
A lot of these films are listed as 'Thriller' which shows a possible gap in the market for slasher which is why we have decided to make our horror trailer a slasher. We can also use the rating of the films to see if the plot which we already had planned was similar to any existing horrors. If the rating was low then we can see that this type of horror isnt very popular with the audience.

Happy Death Day is a thriller/ horror, it only got a 6.5 rating which suggests that the film wasn't very good or the audience didn't like it. This could of been because of the idea behind film where the main character dies over and over until she figures out her killer. On the IMDb website they have included movie clips and the trailers to allow the audience to have an idea of the film and to see if they would overall like the concept of the film.
Perhaps maybe one of the reasons why the film wasn't too popular was because of the gap in the market for slasher films and so the audience were expecting a big film to fill this gap within the market. We need to make sure our trailer is successful so that there is no longer a gap within the market.

Nightmare on Elm street is one of the most popular slasher films to be created, it is so iconic as the killer is known for being the man with the glove. On IMDb Nightmare on Elm street reached a rating of a 7.5 which suggests that over many years the audience have still found this film to be one of the best slashers. If we want our trailer to be this popular we need to look at the film in depth and see what shots and techniques are used in order for our trailer to reach a high rating. There is still a gap within the market as this is an older film and so not many people are going to be wanting to watch this film, which still leaves a major gap within the market for a more modern slasher film.
