GOOGLE TRENDS
Google Trends is a free Google service that provides charts that show how often words, phrases and topics have been searched for over time. Using Google Trends you can compare up to five topics at one time and also see how often those topics have been mentioned in news stories and find out in which region of the world the topics have been searched for the most.
This shows how the recent searches have mostly been around the slasher genre. However, there is also the two other top searches which say the 'best' or 'top' slasher films which show how that people may be wanting to get into this genre more by watching well-known and successful films.
This shows the regions where slashers are most interested in, with the UK being the most popular region and the US in second. The image above shows that slasher movies are not that common in non-English speaking countries. Due to this observation in order for slashers to be the most successful they should be advertised and sold to english speaking regions.
