The Cottage

The emotional responses to 'The Cottage' are a distinct blend reflecting its Comedy, Crime, and Horror genres. Humor is the most prominent emotion, stemming from the absurd and bungled nature of the kidnapping and the characters' darkly comedic reactions to extreme situations. This is closely followed by Fear and Anxiety, driven by the 'living nightmare' scenario, the presence of a 'psychopathic farmer,' and the constant threat of violence, which creates significant suspense and dread. Disturbing elements are also high due to the graphic horror and the unsettling antagonist. Joy and Happiness contribute through successful comedic moments and occasional relief from tension, while Surprise arises from unexpected plot twists and scares inherent in the horror genre. Anger is directed towards the villain, and Empathy is felt for the protagonists caught in the terrifying ordeal.
