Key Film Website Research
LoveFilm
We used the website LOVEFiLM to research what horror films are being rented most frequently. We found out that from the 3,824 horror films that are available to rent on LOVEFiLM, these ones above are the top 10 most popular horror films that are being rented. It shows what kind of horror films are successful and popular so therefore will influence other horror fans into what films they should be watching. As Insidious 2 is within the top 10 most popular horror films to rent at the minute, it gives us the impression that paranormal horror is still very popular within the public so therefore has influenced what type of sub-genre horror we wanted to base our title sequence on.

Metacritic
Metacritic is a great site which you can search for horror films. it gives you a rating of each film and also gives you a short brief of what the film is about. to rate the films of how good they are they use colour coding of green being top quality, orange being decent and red being a poor film which has bad reviews. This site tells us that the most popular and enjoyable genre is gore. This influences the audience to choose films with a higher rating to watch as they have been rated by real people. (CTS.ATL)
IMDB
IMDb is the site where all of their film ratings are given by registered users of their site, giving it 100% honest reviews. all of the reviews are summed up and the better reviewed films will be put into the category of IMDB top 250 movies. Also all the viewers of a film will leave a rating of how good the film is, the higher the rating, the more popular the film will be. (CTS)

Amazon is a key film website as it allows the public to purchase any film that has ever been released. The amazon site allows people to review their views on films and not only that but other people can comment on reviews. this is good as it shows different peoples opinions and whether they agree or not (CTS)
