Horror film
A horror film is a movie that seeks to elicit a physiological reaction, such as an elevated heartbeat, through the use of fear and shocking one’s audiences. Initially often inspired by literature from authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, horror has existed as a film genre for more than a century. The macabre and the supernatural are frequent themes. Horror may also overlap with the fantasy, supernatural fiction and thriller genres. Horror films often aim to evoke viewers' nightmares, fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage into the everyday world.

In his filmmaking career, del Toro has alternated between Spanish-language dark fantasy pieces, such as the gothic horror films "The Devil's Backbone" (2001) and "Pan's Labyrinth" (2006), and more mainstream American action films, such as the vampire superhero action film "Blade II" (2002), the supernatural superhero film "Hellboy" (2004), its sequel "" (2008), and the science fiction monster film "Pacific Rim" (2013).

Misogyny in horror films
Misogyny can occur in horror films when there is a degrading representation of women. This is found particularly in slasher films, where there is often gendered specific violence towards women. Female characters experience violence and brutality at the hands of male antagonists far more often than male characters in these films. Female characters are more likely to experience sexual violence, particularly in the rape-and-revenge subgenre. Women in horror films are typically reduced to roles that are considered tropes, such as the final girl, the blond victim and the femme fatale. Mark Edmundson believes that watching horror films is one way that some people have of dealing with evil.

Approximately two minutes (2:07) minutes long, it opens with ominous music and text fading in and out of the center frame:  It then cuts to a top down view of a thin, disheveled man kneeling in a square of salt and lit candles, solving what fans of the franchise would notice to be the Lament Configuration from the original "Hellraiser" films.
