Genre Iconography - Settings

Settings

Often we find in horror that settings are extremely relevant to the plot and set the mood for the pivotal moments in the film. For example, in many 'Slasher' horror films it is common to find that they are usually set in an American neighbourhood where the killer disrupts the peace in the town that has been maintained for many years.

In horrors, the story is often told in an abandoned environment that people would usually associate with crowds of people. For example, prisons, asylums, churches, hospitals, theme parks, mansions, shopping malls, etc. However in many psychological horrors, small confined areas are used to convey ideas of isolation and make the audience feel as though they are living within the world created.
