Hybrid genre
A hybrid is a combination of two or more genres.
Hybrids can have larger audiences due to appealing to a wider audience through their multiple genres. This would be more lucrative for the film companies.
Some people consider them more exciting and creative.
As horror movies are perennially popular, film-makers might start with a set of horror paradigms to guarantee audience interest, before throwing other tropes into the mix.
This gives us genre hybrids like:
- Horror romance (twilight saga)
- Horror war
- Historical drama
- Historical romance
"Genres are not static , but evolve. Therefore, their common attributes change over time. Most films are hybrid genre, since they possess the common attributes of more than one genre." by Warren Buckland
Hot fuzz Hot Fuzz is an example of a hybrid as it intertwines the aspects of both action and comedy.
