First Post

My ideas:


How authentic are the videogames to the film? (vice-versa)
I will mostly look at the Horror genre for example: Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc...


-John Carpenter's filmography: comparison between other genre's
-Comparison of Horror originals and remakes.
For example: John Carpenter: The fog (1980-2011) The Thing (1982-2011)


"From victim to villain"


Potentially look at Greek Mythology such as Clash of Titans.


Look in-depth at how good/bad series are e.g. saw, Final Destination & Paranormal activity
Comparison of "zombies/infected" look at intertextual reference




"How stupid are people in horror films?" (audience reaction)

examples: Halloween, Cabin in the woods, *Scream series, Freddy Krueger/Jason Vorhees, The last house on the left, Modern horror comparison, The Hills have eyes (original & remake)

Examples of Films (trailers) that suit the subject matter:

*Cabin In the Woods- Trailer

*The last house on the left (2009)- trailer

I recently watched The last house on the left and there was a specific scene where I thought stereotypical behaviour occurs. In The last house on the left our protagonist encounters a stranger posing interesting and manipulative motives; called Justin from our protagonist' perspectives they have no indications who he is except that he can sort them drugs to "exchange" merchandise and then the whole story spirals where one of the protagonists begins exhibiting paranoia and panics which leads to her tragedy which in favour lead to the survival of the other.
