Purpose

The purpose for our movie is to entertain younger viewers and fans of the horror who have a taste for the supernatural of inanimate objects. We did not want to copy the Chucky's image but simply learn from it and see what makes the audience terrified of a child's toy. It is also to provide a thrill ride for the audience. “Corky” is created to make a timeless narrative that can be watched for many years to come by audiences of the horror movie genre.

Target audience

Our target audience are people between the ages of 15-25. This is the typical audience for the horror genre as it is not very likely that those above the age of 30 are going to watch a horror film. This is also because they are usually the age used in horror films and become prime targets because of their place in society as they are teenagers/young adults and are the future generation.
