The setting is usually in an isolated area or in a small confided space. In many horror films, the setting is in a place of history. These places include hospitals, hotels, but typically in old houses, theses houses are usually abandoned and then gain new occupants.
In Sinister, the main setting is in a house, the house is situated on its own, away from any civilisation. In nearly every single horror that is set in a house, the house is most of the time standing alone. Inside the house the attic is used numerously.
Whereas in As Above So Below, the main setting is underground in the catacombs in Paris, France. The catacombs are in a built up area but nobody knows what is happening because it is taking place deep underground.
A regular occurrence in horror movies is that they are set where nobody can help the individuals involved. They are set like this because the producers want to keep the audience on edge and to keep them guessing to see if they will get help. They are isolated.
