The Genre of Fantasy in Film includes the elements of many other genres such as Supernatural, Magic, Afterlife, History, Alternate Worlds, Science Fiction, Human Cloning, Computers and so on.

Fantasy with the elements predominately of the Horror and Gloomy Kind is known specifically as - Dark Fantasy. This is a hybrid of two distinct genres that make up this sub-genre. This type of filmmaking has worked into it tones of Horror, Dark Dread and Brooding. Pan's Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Avengers: Infinity War and Legend are classic examples.

Inside the wide genre of Fantasy we have another sub-genre, and this genre is - Heroic Fantasy. The formula of the hero initially refusing the call to action, such as Star Wars, Conan the Barbarian, The Hobbit and Shrek. The reluctance is overturned by unforeseen events, and a hero is born. This hero often originates from humble origins, incredible lengths of one's mettle and fortitude are often put to the test through challenges of the physical and spiritual kind.

A third kind is fantasy which has elements and settings of the Victorian, Edwardian or Gothic Era known as - Gaslamp Fantasy or Steampunk. This sub genre is usually without technology and science such as Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Jeckyll and Hyde, and Jack the Ripper. Gaslamp Fantasy sticks very true to its elements of its timeless Steampunk Origin.

Often with a sense of Wonder, Myth, Magic, Escapism and the Out Of This World, Fantasy Genre in Film has and will always be one of the most popular, stretching people's imaginations to no end.
