Film Institutions.

Some film institutions are more distinctive to what genre of film they like to distribute, for example, Twisted pictures is mainly horror and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures deal with Disney films.

Twisted Pictures is a film company that mostly deals with horror/gore films, hence the name 'Twisted' insinuating that they like disturbing an grotesque things. }
Twisted pictures have distributed such films as: The Saw franchise {With a dead body lying between them, two men wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who's been nicknamed "Jigsaw". The men must follow various rules and objectives if they wish to survive and win the deadly game set for them.-Saw 2004} Repo! The Genetic Opera {A worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however.} Texas Chainsaw 3D {A young woman travels to Texas to collect an inheritance; little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-wielding killer is part of the reward.}. Twisted pictures would be a good production/ institution to use, but however this particular company was used in my opening 2 minutes, and i want to be diverse and use another, or even make up my own institution name.
Lionsgate is a North American company that has produced a number of great films, these being of other genres like The Hunger Games, Enders game and Kick-Ass. You could argue that Lionsgate specializes in the horror genre, this is shows through the number of horror films that they have distributed, these being,  The Cabin in The Woods {Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods.} Hostel {Three backpackers head to a Slovak city that promises to meet their hedonistic expectations, with no idea of the hell that awaits them.} The Last Exorcism {A troubled evangelical minister agrees to let his last exorcism be filmed by a documentary crew.} My Bloody Valentine {Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, however, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one will believes he's innocent} Lionsgate is a good institution for a horror film that involves the paranormal and gore, it would be a good institution to use for the gore side, but on the other hand Lionsgate just doesn't scream 'ZOMBIES' to me.
