Macabre

Audience emotional responses to 'Macabre' are overwhelmingly dominated by intense **Fear** and **Anxiety** as the protagonists are relentlessly hunted and brutally murdered by Dara's cult-like family. A strong sense of the **Disturbing** arises from the graphic violence, explicit gore, and the unsettling, sadistic nature of the antagonists. **Anticipation** builds throughout the film as viewers await the next horrifying event or character's demise. **Disgust** is prominent due to the extreme brutality and bloodshed, while **Anger** is directed at the villains for their heinous acts. Underlying these intense reactions, elements of **Sadness** and **Empathy** are present for the victims, reflecting the 'Drama' genre, particularly for the initial, ill-fated attempt at family reconciliation.
