Bereavement

Given its genre as Crime, Horror, and Thriller, and its grim plot involving a deranged serial killer, abduction, and a gruesome meat-packing plant setting, the audience's primary emotional responses would be intense Fear and Anxiety. The disturbing nature of the killer's actions, the vulnerability of the CIPA child, and the impending tragedy for the Miller family would evoke strong feelings of Disturbing content, Disgust, and Anger. Anticipation would build as the narrative progresses towards inevitable danger, while Sadness and Empathy would arise from the tragic fates of the victims and the overall grim atmosphere.
