Who is renting Movies/Films - Netflix
What is Netflix?
Netflix is a website that allows you to watch a variety of movies/films and television shows whenever you want by paying a monthly subscription. As it is a 'streaming service' you can watch the movie or show while it is loading, this makes it extremely popular among other websites as you do not have to wait to watch anything or download anything previously.

There are a large variety of movies/shows to watch (estimated 5500 to be instantly viewed in the US). Because of this, it is extremely easy for people of all ranges and interests to watch they desire. Within the 'Horror' genre there are lots of sub genres, these can be easily found with Netflix.
Examples of the most popular selling Netflix Movies/Films
The Hush:
The Hush has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (a reviewing website) and is based on a deaf woman living in an isolated cottage in the woods. The killer murders her friend and then traps/taunts her inside of the house, she then has to figure out how to evade the killer and escape. this is relatively new but despite this is still one of the top sellers this year. |
Scream 2:
Despite Scream 2 being relatively old, the first was so successful (still continues to be the highest grossing slasher flick in the world) that it was bound to be a success (81% on Rotten Tomatoes). It is more of a comedy horror however and can sometimes only appeal to specific audience but that doesn't stop it being one of the best sellers. |
We Are Still Here:
We Are Still Here (getting 95% on Rotten Tomatoes) was critically acclaimed to be one of 2015's best horror films and is about a family that moves into a new house after a car accident that kills their son. The house has other dark pasts attached to it and therefore holds apparitions and spirits that kill. It is no doubt one of the best sellers on Netflix because of the great reviews, plot and actors.

By seeing the variety of different movies/films and genres of these that people are renting and streaming over Netflix. I have noticed a gap in popular Movies that are to do with cannibalism and the use of gore/suggestion of it (making the audience imagine what is happening rather than outright showing it). Therefore this would suit our plan of creating a movie exactly like this (lots of gore/cannibalistic stereotypes), and be the first on the website to view.
