Dread; film genre (6)
I believe the answer is:
horror
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'dread' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'film genre' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for horror that I've seen before include "Intense shock" , "Extreme shock and revulsion" , "Extreme fright and disgust" , "'Repugnance, revulsion (6)'" , "Intense fear, loathing or disgust" .)
