Why Choose This Course
| Genre | UK Box Office Revenue (£ millions) |
|---|---|
| French New Extremity Films | 15 |
| Horror (all genres) | 200 |
French New Extremity Films, a subgenre characterized by graphic violence and psychological depth, hold a significant, albeit niche, position within today’s film market. While not as commercially dominant as mainstream horror in the UK, their influence on independent filmmaking is undeniable. Their exploration of taboo subjects and visceral filmmaking techniques resonates with a specific audience, aligning with current trends in arthouse cinema. Data suggests a smaller yet dedicated viewership. For instance, UK box office figures (see chart below) show a comparatively lower revenue for French New Extremity films compared to the overall horror genre. However, their impact extends beyond pure box office numbers, impacting stylistic choices and thematic explorations seen in broader independent cinema. This impact represents a crucial area of study for aspiring filmmakers and industry professionals alike, highlighting the importance of understanding niche genre success and audience engagement.
