Supernatural film

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the film called Supernatural, see Supernatural (film).

Supernatural film is a film genre that encompasses themes related to gods, goddesses, ghosts, apparitions, spirits, miracles, and other extraordinary phenomena. These themes are often blended with other film genres, such as comedy, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Historically, the primary goal of supernatural films was not to terrify audiences but to offer entertainment, often in whimsical or romantic contexts.[1]

The film genre is part of several hybrid genres, including supernatural comedy films, supernatural horror films, supernatural religious films, and supernatural thriller films.[2]

Early depictions: Films with benevolent ghosts

Ghosts in cinema date back to the era of World War II, with post-war romantic comedies frequently featuring apparitions. Initially, these supernatural entities were portrayed more as entertainers rather than frighteners.[1]

Notable examples include:

Horror and the supernatural

By the mid-1940s, the narrative began to shift, portraying ghosts and the supernatural in more sinister contexts.[1]

Spiritual and religious themes in the 1940s

Some films from this era merged the ideas of religion and the supernatural.[1]

1950s to 1970s: Low-budget films

The late 1950s through the 1970s witnessed a surge of low-budget supernatural/horror films.[1]

1980s and onward

During the 1980s and beyond, ghost stories continued to evolve and appeal to the masses.[1]
