Strays

Based on the horror genre and the plot of a troubled family encountering malevolent entities (implied to be cats) in an isolated house, the primary emotional responses would be Fear and Anxiety as the family faces an unknown and growing threat. Disturbing elements arise from the nature of the 'other occupants' and the unsettling premise. Surprise would come from jump scares or unexpected reveals. Additionally, Disgust might be present due to the actions of the creatures, and Anticipation builds as the danger escalates. Empathy is felt for the troubled family as they become victims.
