The independent Horror films that has been successful this year (2015) is The Witch which was successful which was made by the independent film institution A24 Films.

The company would make my film is most likely a mainstream film company which is Blumhouse Productions because due to their success from over the years of many horror films that is mentioned above, it gives me great confidence that this is the most likely film company would make my film as my Horror film is mainstream and conveys all the codes and conventions of horror films which has the same/similar codes and conventions as the horror films that Blumhouse Productions have made.
