The traditional horror genre has evolved over the past decades for various reasons and is now in a trend deemed elevated horror for being so popular and critically lauded. Fascination associated with horror stems from a deep infatuation with simulation experience — watching these terrifying and horrific acts on-screen can evoke a physical and mental simulation within the viewer's state of mind. This is a huge part of why many yell at the screen during the build-up of an ultimate kill or the chase of a victim; viewers are immersed into this world to the point where they feel as if they're actually in the scene, and those characters can somehow hear their warnings.
