Top Rented Horrors
Rotten Tomatoes was a website we used to see the latest horrors that are rented. We used this as it's a high rated website and very trustworthy. The screenshot above shows an up to date image of what movies are the top rentals currently. Taken 3 is the most rented film with a 46% audience rating. Also on rottentomatoes.com you can read a variety of critic reviews to see whether you want to rent and watch that particular movie. |
LoveFilm
LoveFilm is one of the top leading movie website to watch/buy/rent films from. When deciding what sub-genre of horror we want to specify in, it is/was wise to look at the popularity of films on a website which offered films to stream. Watching films online has increased rapidly due to development in technology, how it offers much more connected to the internet. |
We decided to look into LoveFilm's top rented/most popular category to find accurate information and for inspiration.
During our research we found that 'Insidious 2 (2013)', 'Annabelle (2014) and 'The Conjuring (2013) were three of the most popular films. What was in common to between the three were that they were all under the Paranormal sub-genre. We feel that paranormal movies are beginning to be a higher interest in sub-genre; and that maybe our horror trailer may be based around paranorma to gain/have higher interest from audiences. Other paranormal movies that are shown in the popularity are: Insidious (2010), It Follows (2015), Ouija (2014) and The Babadook (2014).

Netflix
Netflix is also another popular website we used to view top rented horrors. We decided to use Netflix as it is used by a large majority of people that watch films and are able to rate these films after watching them. The website is pretty easy to use, by clicking 'Horror' and then 'Highest rated' it comes up with lots of films. The Highest rated on Netflix at the moment is 'ZombieLand' with the rating of 4 and a half stars. |
