The Hunger and the conventions of a horror movie.

The conventions we usually expect to see in a horror movies are things such as; darkness, halloween, sleepover parties, murders, blood, knifes and something thats supernatural.
 Media shows the convention of 'darkness' by having low dull lightings to give the atmosphere and cold and empty feel. They use props such as fake blood, and knifes to imply the scene of a murder.

Horror/triller vampire movies, the conventions we see crosses- religion ( projects from the evil)
capes, fangs, locations such as; the forest. seeing these in a scene, would automatically imply to the audience that this is an vampire movie.

The conventions used in this movies opening scene tells us that this is a vampire movies. we see a cross which is crafted in a shape of fangs to kill its victims. And as the men in the club brings his jacket up in a way which looks like bat wings, it suggest to us that he may be the vampire.
