One example of this film is Dawn of the Dead where the main protagonist is seen trying to escape a lot and get away from all of the horrors that are at home.
Another sub-genre is body horror. It is where body parts of usually humans are taken to create monsters or the characters will be replaced with scary unnatural body parts so there are unnatural movements and disfigurements. Examples of these are Teeth and Cabin Fever.
Comedy Horror is a popular sub-genre of horror for those who do not like gory films. They do feature scary things but usually mostly in a comedic way so that the audience doesn't get scared. Examples of this is Scary Movie, Shaun of the Dead and Gremlins.
Psychological Horror is all to do with the characters fears and beliefs, building up tension and show emotional instability. Examples of this could include The Shining, The Ring and The Exorcist.
Sci-Fi horror is a horror film that has sci-fi connotations, such as having aliens in the film. These can be scary although aliens are not real, which makes it a good horror film for those who like sci-fi films. It often deals with the paranormal and so an example of this could be the film Alien.
A slasher is a horror featuring a lot of blood usually and people being murdered brutally. It features different ways of murder and killing people and throughout the film there are jumpscares to build tension. It usually includes killing many victims that are vulnerable to the killer.

Zombie Films usually come as a sub-genre to the genre of horror. This is because they are usually seen having missing limbs, opening up body parts and killing victims for brains. They usually come as an apocolpyse that is out of control and so that the victims cannot do anything about it, forcing them to try and fight back. Examples of this could be I Am Legend, Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead.
