Audience Profile
by Nont Laohaburanakit, Woratat (Nont)
1. The aspect of stalking conforms to the genre of thriller. However, the gender of the characters subverts the stereotypes. To elaborate, the female is the antagonist and is the one committing a crime. We generally see males as the antagonist and subjecting to voyeurism. However, our female is a protagonist and a victim and the female is the antagonist and the villain. This may appeal to female audiences as it portrays our female antagonist is strong and determined. The suspense of it may appeal to the secondary gender: male audiences because stereotypically, males are known to prefer films where there is suspense and action. Furthermore, it subverts the stereotypical masculine man.
