From this information our group have decided to produce a horror movie with the sub genre being slasher. We have done this because according to our market research there are not that many slashers in the top 10, in fact there is only one in there, Psycho, and even calling that a slasher is controversial. We feel that being unique will help rope in the audience because it is a different concept from most movies and we feel that our team can make it a real hit.
