Depending on such an approach, the author’s vision of the country he lives in and, accordingly, the Western world can be unlocked.
But it’s not that common for westerners to prefer a general mix. It’s strange because some of the iconography and dramatic components can be more corset and strict than others. But the tendency of the genre is to try to push these limits so that it can be revived (and partially betrayed to its purest essence). In any case, terror is a logical choice to confuse with terror.

It’s a classic western archetype, but refreshing when added to the paranormal layer. Also, an unrelated protective relationship emerges with the protagonist of the story.
