because of the nature of horror films the audience is fairly limited. it would therefore be beneficial for  us to extend our audience internationally. As we want to avoid using a mainstream Hollywood production company. To extend our audience internationally, in particular to the United States (where the biggest market for the horror genre is), we would therefore need to use two production companies. One would be a  British independent production company and the other would be an 'indiewood' production company.

UK production company: Hammer Film Productions:
Hammer Film Productions are a UK based company that are well known for making low key, not overdramatic, horror films. recently the have produced "The Woman in Black" a film about a man in an isolated position who falls victim to the serial and the supernatural, a film similar in style and tone to our own. The company has recently made a come back after a long pause between films.  A UK based company will also allow us to tap into the mainland european market.

US production company: Ghost House Pictures
Ghost house pictures is a US based company that specialises in Horror movies. although the horrors that they make are more high key they will allow us to release our film in the US with a greater chance of success as this is where the greatest market for horror films is. the company is known for films including The Grudge series, Drag Me to Hell and 30 Days of Night amongst many others.
