IMDb is a really useful website in finding out nearly everything about different films. On the website, it has got all the films and information about them, a watch list, what films are coming out soon and most importantly it has got a top 250 films. On the top 250, you can look in to the most popular of different genres, so I have looked in to the popular genre of horror. For each film, the site has put a rating out of ten for the film, the running time of the film, the year the film came out, actors/actresses and a brief description of the film. Here is the top 9 of the horror genre:
All the films in this list seem to be films that have come out in 2014/15, this does highlight that one of the films in the list, poltergeist, is from 1982. This can mean that the classic horror films are usually the best. There seems to be quite a lot of thrillers on the list, which can suggest that these are the sub-genres that the audience are watching at the moment.
The site also offers a vote on the best horror films. These were the top 5. As you can see these films are the classics of the horror genre, for they are all quite old. All of these films have the same sort of marks on IMDb, due to how good these films are. This suggests that when making a horror, the classic films are the best to look at.
One function of IMDb, is to watch trailers. when you click on a specific trailer other suggestions of trailers will come up. The point of this is to show the audience what other films are coming out. IMDb will have trailer on its website, because trailers show what a films is about, and that is the function of IMDb.
