Media audiences
The target audience is males and females aged 16-25, these are the people who can relate best with the young characters and generally tend to enjoy horror films more than older audiences.
The probable audience readings of this text is that the girl being bullied at school is weak and defensless and that she does not deserve it. The audience are made to feel sympathy for her and we are put in her view point so are more likely to support her.
As a young british teenager watching a Japanese horror, i probably find it more frightening than a japanese audience would because they myths and legends which a lot of the horror films are based on are not familiar to me. However as a teenager i feel i can relate to the character and can sympathise with her pain when she is being bullied and treated badly.
