Audience
This film contains strong graphic images even with the age rating for 12A/PG-13. I feel this leaners to a more elder age such as 15+ not only due to its contents but for those who would likely have read the book. I also feel this will lean towards a social economic group of the C1 to E categories mainly because of its sophisticated themes along being based os a book and there star marketing of Daniel Radcliff bring old and young fans.
Genre
As a horror thriller there needs to tension and fear which is key to success and defines its genre. Within the film they include frightening and disturbing images which is the main reason it gained its certificate.
