Differences between Horror and Thriller Genres - Horror

Horror:

• Has more gore with a main intent of frightening/scaring the audience. 
• Women are often seen as victims and weaker than other characters. 
• Has a predictable narrative and the main entity to fear is known to the audience and will use different weapons to add to the shock effect. 
• Has a younger, better looking cast often not very well known actors.
• Suburban setting, often literally in the middle of nowhere with adults/authority that are either absent or very unhelpful. Victims sometimes a group of friends who get killed off one by one and the audience can guess who will die first and who will survive in the end.
