Across a majority of horror films the common theme is pain of the physical being. most victims tend to be young attractive females or truly unkind yobs.
The conventions of mainstream horror include the supernatural, suspense, and shock scares. Creepy young children and nursery rhymes tend to fulfill a villain capacity, as well as old women, and demonic possession. torture porn is the erotication of gruesome acts. Films like Saw heavily use these styles of slasher horror.
Some of the more popular horror films of recent years, such as Paranormal Activity and REC feature a found-footage style, providing a modicum of realism which seems to attract the masses. These films attempt to portray the events as being 'real' and filmed by amateurs indicating that all the events that they experienced are a very real possibility of them happening to you.
