My personal favourite genre type is psychological horror. My reasoning for this is I am not a huge fan of watching a film that is highly unrealistic, however psychological horrors tend to be much 'scarier' due to the fact that they often deal with things that could potentially happen and they tap into basic human fears, for example paranormal activity, and emotional instability to build tension. Psychological horrors excel at allowing the viewers mind to create the horror effect for themselves, where as action and particularly gory horrors try to make the effects for you which i find tedious. I don't find body horror extremely effective as in some cases it can look very fake which ruins the illusion.
