An example of this is Jennifer’s body where they use Megan Fox a well known teen actor to play the young teen girl, her bedroom is full of posters that a young audience can connect to. Films usually it is aimed at both genders but frequently uses things such as sex appeal and violence to attract men to them. Women enjoy this genre as it has a social element and they can scare themselves together and have a discussion about it after.
