Gender as a target audience

Who we're aiming our opening scene at

 

We've decided that the gender of our target audience is to be mostly female. Our killer is female, so we think there would be a mainly female audience.

As seen before in previous horror films, the killer is male and there is a large male audience (more than female). The killers being male makes the role seem more violent and intimidating to the audience so we want to see if a female killer can do the same, therefore changing the target audience.
