M3 : How Pineclones Confirms Its Genre

Pineclones the film fits the genre of horror, the reason being that it meets the codes and conventions of a horror movie. In pineclones the idea of supernatural is prominent with the antagonist being a supernatural character. furthermore in pineclones there is character death as well as murder this is a convention of the horror genre another reason to why the movie relates to the horror genre

For a horror movie to be really classed in the horror genre it has to meet certain conventions them being, a supernatural theme to the movie either a character or power, or an act of revenge on a character in the movie, also a horror movie needs death and murder as well as having people survive from a near death experience to possibly show that it is all as real as it seems. Some horror movies also include religious beliefs to show that even religion may not be able to protect you.

In Pineclones I feel we tick most of these boxes, starting with the convention of supernatural.In Pineclones the antagonist is represented by a supernatural character, we also relate to death and murder with the 'masked man' murdering a character, thus allows others to escape from a near death experience.
