Distributors for the Horror Genre

I researched different film distributors and categorised them into genre, in particular the horror genre. I looked at the specific distributors that are common distributors for this particular genre. I picked out three examples of distributors to use for our horror opening sequence:

1. Lionsgate: Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation is a a Canadian-American entertainment company. It has distributed films such as The Hunger Games, however it has also distributed a number of horror films. These include The Last Exorcism, The Cabin in the Woods and Acts of Death.

2. Blumhouse Productions: Blumhouse Productions was founded by Jason Blum. Blumhouse has produced several comedy films, science fiction films and multiple horror films. Although they specialise in low-budget films, Blumhouse has become well-known worldwide with the success of Paranormal Activity in 2009.

3. Hammer Films: Hammer was founded in 1934 by jeweller and theatre owner William Hinds. The company didn't originally begin making horror movies, but after the success of The Quatemess Experiment in 1955, the company produced many Gothic monster movies. Examples of horror films that have been distributed by Hammer are: The Woman in Black, The Resident and Let Me In.
