Conclusion
In conclusion, we have decided that we are going to make our film a psychological horror film as we are wanting to base our film around a serial killer who is mentally unstable. We thought that there haven't been many successful psychological horror films in recent years but certain psychological horror films have been very successful like 'Psycho' and therefore decided that there is a gap in the film market in this sub genre which we could capitalise on.
