arlington road analysis

Arlington Road
Is the genre established? What is it?
We can't tell what the genre is from the first two miuntes, but there is blood involved with a young boy holding his arm. from this we assume that it might be horror/crime.
How is the genre established? What conventions are used?
Within the begging clip there is very bright nautal day lightening and we are in the middle of a family house estate, with a boy walking in the middle of the road. The boys arm is covered in blood and he is craddleing his arm as he is in pain. From the blood we assume that horror/thriller genre would be possible but due to the natural and the family estate we assume that is is a thriller. This opening could be argueable as there is alot of blood on the boy which is a horror but due to the setting and lightening it could be a thriller genre.
What else does the audience find out in the first two minutes?
From the first two minutes we meet the little boy who is injuried and asumme that he shall be one of the main character but infact he is just a crutial element to the film. We also meet the man who saves the little boy and takes him to the hospital, who is the protaganist.
How does the audience find this out?
Seeing the man who doesn't even know the boy (we known this as he doesn't know him name) takes the boy and try to get him to hosiptal to stop him from being pain and help him when he doesn't have too. We assume that boy charcter both live within the estate as they both are walking and driving around within the estate.
