At this point, I know my Film will be a science fiction piece with a slasher-horror element to it. Embedded below is a SlideShare presentation giving examples of sub genres of Horror and Sci-fi as well as other genres of Film.
An example of horror/Sci-Fi is the film Alien but this is not the sort of Science fiction Sub genre I am going for. If I were to follow this presentation's sub genre definitions, my film would be closest to the Mad science with slasher elements.
A huge problem with slasher is going to be the blood and gore. Whilst this is only going to have a small part in the film and could be left unseen, I really want some shock factor for the audience, mainly to show how twisted he has become or to show how messy he is to start off with. If this were to happen, It would start off as a very visual thing and then the murders become less obvious so less is seen. This would show that he is learning to kill. All problems aside, I think the film could work out with visual slasher elements and could make the film more complete.
All in all, At this point in time, I will make my film a Mad Science film with moments of slasher horror as these genres best describe my vision for the final outcome.
