Genre - Themes

Generally within the horror genre the usual themes are:

• Good VS Evil -
  
  So the devil is usually included within the narrative, in which the devil is the antagonist and the protagonist must defeat/destroy the devil, which then leads to the resolution of the film in which the devil has been 'defeated' or 'destroyed' 

• Religion -
  
  Usually in horror films religion is a big part of it as is the devil, so both link in well with each other so stereotypically they will both be included together. 

• The |Family
  
  Usually issue arise in horror films around the family, where the family is part of the victim or the family is the cause of the problems for instance in 'The Conjuring' the whole family is effected by the devil (which links to the other two themes usually found in horror films.

• Insanity
  
  Insanity is usually a big part of horror films due to the fact of most horror film settings been done in mental asylums but also the antagonist are usually insane in which leads to them killing people.
