Hybrid genres refers to a combination of two or more genres in one production. This enables the film producers to possibly get a wider range of viewers and increase the profits and also boost the ratings of the film as it is far more likely that the audience will enjoy the film if the genre is similar to their taste.
Here are some examples of films that use the hybrid genre:
The Stranger's incorporates both Horror and Thriller.
After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night. What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive. IMDB description
The Hills have eyes uses Action, Horror and Gore genres.
A group of National Guard trainees find themselves battling against a vicious group of mutants on their last day of training in the desert. IMDB description
Alien uses both Horror and Sci-fi which is rare and unique
After a space merchant vessel perceives an unknown transmission as distress call, their landing on the source planet finds one of the crew attacked by a mysterious life-form. Continuing their journey back to Earth with the attacked crew having recovered and the critter deceased, they soon realize that its life cycle has merely begun.
In our Main brief we are incorporating both crime and horror genre as an example of a hybrid genre which means we will use many of the same ideas from films produced such as Scream or Psycho.
The Hills have eyes uses Action, Horror and Gore genres.
