What is imdb?
Imdb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.
IMDB allows you to look at the highest rated films, as well as the most popular, and the films that have made the most money in the box office. It gives the option to select which genre you want to view. In our case, we need to observe the highest rated horror films as this relates to our work.
when we selected the horror genre the 3 highest rated horrors are Psycho, Alien and The Shining. With both Psycho and The shining being slasher/psychological, it guides our idea of a horror towards psychological, knowing that this sub-genre is highly rated gives us hope that our horror will reach these standards.
