Media Audiences

The hills have eyes could have many target audiences becuase the film could appeal to anyone howver the age rating on the film is 18 so that limits it down, but it is specific like other films as this film could be enjoyed by males and females all different races.


from the text it is possible to see what attitudes the audiecnes will have, from the level of voilence you can tell that the audience is off a older age and people who are going to watch it are more likely to be fans of horror movies, so the film has to be scarier then other films for it to compete with the top tittles of the horror genre.


in terms of target audience, i would say that the they are trying to target middle class white people from ages 18 - 30 the reason for this is becuase they feature a family with similar ages in the film by doing this the audience can put themselves into the film easier.


when i first watched the film i thought it was a good film and a typical horror film however i felt it lacked something which other horror films had. this film took place in some hills which nobdoy ever goes to other horror films take place in local areas were there is other people so it was hard to really be scared knowing that it was abit to much set up becuase surely a old warzone would have been locked away from the public yet the characters just manged to drive through it. my age would have a great deal to pay with my understanding and liking of the film, seeing the media nowdays alot of things is sex focused, this film is no different meaningless scenes of sex had been added to keep the male audience engaged.
