The Bad Batch

Based on the 'Action, Horror, Mystery' genre and the plot of survival in a cannibal-infested wasteland, audience emotional responses for 'The Bad Batch' would be dominated by Fear, Anxiety, and Disturbing elements due to the constant threat of violence and the grim setting. Disgust would also be prominent given the cannibalism and squalor. Anticipation and Curiosity would be present as viewers follow Arlen's journey and try to understand the rules and characters of this desolate world, including the enigmatic 'The Dream'. Sadness and Melancholy reflect the bleak, hopeless atmosphere of the wasteland, while Empathy is felt for the protagonist's struggle. Lower positive emotions like Joy, Happiness, or Hope would be minimal, reflecting the film's dark and unsettling tone.
