Draft:Epic Horror film

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

epic horror films refer to a subgenre of horror that surrounds itself around disturbing imaginery and/or heavy gore. Epic horror films can also refer to a large and complex setting where different situations with horror elements can occur. Epic horror films tend to reply more on jumpscares and gore than suspense or atmosphere. Epic horror can still, however, be combined with psychological horror.
