This document discusses how a student film fits conventions of the home invasion horror genre. It notes that typical elements include being set entirely in a house, featuring masked murderers, and innocent young victims. The student incorporated these elements through the costume, setting, and characters. The victim is a young female portrayed as vulnerable. The murderer wears a hood and mask to look threatening while still realistic. The setting of a normal suburban home adds realism, an important aspect of the home invasion subgenre. Overall, the film remains faithful to genre conventions rather than challenging them.
