Siren

The audience's primary emotional responses to Siren (2018) are dominated by Fear and Anxiety, stemming from the horror elements of predatory mermaids and the escalating, vicious conflict between humans and these mythical beings. A significant sense of Disturbing is present due to the violent nature of the mermaids. The 'Drama' genre contributes to feelings of Sadness and Melancholy as the conflict unfolds, alongside Empathy for characters caught in the struggle. Curiosity and Surprise are also notable, driven by the mystery of the mermaids' true nature and unexpected plot developments, while a touch of Awe acknowledges the fantastical element of mermaids, though quickly overshadowed by their terrifying reality.
