Hybrid Genre

Hybrid Genre

A hybrid is a combination of two or more genres. Hybrid can have a larger audience due to appealing to more people through their multiple genres. This would be more lucrative for the film companies. Some people consider them more exciting and creative.

Some examples of hybrid are:
  • Horror romance - twilight
  • Horror war - Dead snow
  • Horror Historical Drama - pride and prejudice and zombies
  • Horror RomCom - Shaun of the dead
"Genres aren't static but they do evolve. Therefore, their common attributes change over time. Most films are hybrid genres, since they possess the common attributes of more than one genre."

    It is essential you put who you are quoting and ideally the date of the quote in brackets after - this would be required in your exam. You are quoting Warren Buckland in this case - I am afraid no date was given for this.
