Draft:Prestige horror
Prestige horror is a horror film sub-genre. While the prestige term was popularized in the 2010s, many film historians have classified earlier films as such "prestige horror" films. The term is also associated with the adjacent elevated horror, a similar term that describes films that notably overlaps with those tagged as prestige horror.
Characteristics and aesthetics
[edit]History
[edit]The terms "prestige horror" and "elevated horror" gained traction in the 2010s, in the wake of the "Golden Age of Television",[1][2] which is also referred to as "prestige TV".
Despite the term being popularized in the 2010s, older films have been described as "prestige horror". Examples include The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Interview with a Vampire (1994).[3]
