Supernatural film is a film genre that encompasses supernatural themes related to gods, goddesses, ghosts, apparitions, spirits, miracles, and other extraordinary phenomena.
These themes are often blended with other film genres, such as comedy, science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
Historically, the primary goal of supernatural films was not to terrify audiences but to offer entertainment, often in whimsical or romantic contexts.
[2] Ghosts in cinema date back to the era of World War II, with post-war romantic comedies frequently featuring apparitions.
