Have you gotten mad a character in a horror movie for doing something stupid like going towards something they shouldn't? I think it’s to build excitement, but I honestly don't like it. To me it builds up anger,because what the character does in the movie makes them look like an idiot. Everyone has something to say to correct the movie like what they should, shouldn’t, or what to have. Everything in a horror movie is to build excitement but there are somethings that are really annoying like the things they do to get themselves killed like running the wrong way. If you were in a horror movie do you think you can survive? Or would you die because you didn’t do the right thing. If you were in a horror movie don’t hide under the bed because one, …show more content…
Maybe its because they think they can be heard but if you were in an horror movie and you could hear the audience you should listen because you’ll have a chance of surviving. Almost everything in the movie is to get you out of your seat but sometimes that makes people mad because the person in the movie is doing the opposite of what they should be doing. In a horror movie don't split up into separate groups because the killer can easily pick you and your friends off one by one till there is no one left. Have basic eye coordination because if you did you shouldn’t be tripping all of the place. Look at the chainsaw massacre dude he has a mask over his face which limits his vision so she should be the one fall all over the place. He also has to carry a chainsaw, do you know how heavy a chainsaw is because I sure don't but I’m pretty sure it's really heavy so he shouldn't catch up to you. If you're with a group of people and your killer is a ghost or possesed doll, get a vascume and suck that ghost up or if it's a doll like chucky have someone hold him don't and punt that thing.If you just have common sense you can easily survive a horror movie but not many people in a horror movie have
“We do not fear the unknown. We fear what we think about the unknown.” Is a quote from Teal Swan. This idea is incorporated into a lot of director’s movies, however, Tim Burton, a creator of many famous movies, would probably have one of the best understandings of this idea. This is through Burton’s constant use of ideas about the unknown in many of his films. Yet, these ideas of fearing the unknown and curiosity of the unknown are especially prominent in Burton’s films such as The Corpse Bride and Edward Scissorhands. There are a great amount of techniques Burton uses to convey these ideas of the unknown, but Burton typically uses techniques such as some sort of misfit protagonist that is different than most people and a judgmental
Watching frightening films such as “It,” Stephen King’s masterpiece, which is engrossing its monumental audience, is a favorite pastime of many young people. This industry is vast and creates a large amount of wealth for many of the people behind it. However, parents should diligently research these films’ psychological effects on minors before allowing their children to engage in this form of entertainment. After all, “‘Given that very young children may not yet know what types of stimuli frighten them most, nor do they enjoy the power to choose which media the family will view, they are in special need of protection from exposure to such scary stimuli before coping strategies are necessary’” (“Scary”). This shows that parents must carefully consider the content they allow their children to see. People watch horror movies for myriad reasons, as shown in Stephen King’s essay “Why We Crave Horror Movies,” and watching these films have both positive and negative effects that parents should be aware of, which are displayed in Stephen King’s essay “Why We Crave Horror Movies” and in the USA Today article “Scary Movies and TV Programs Have Long-Lasting Effects.”
In the play “Macbeth” written by Shakespeare, there are many dangerous characters. Lady Macbeth is the most dangerous. She has a strong personality and has power over her husband Macbeth. If Lady Macbeth had not encouraged Macbeth to kill King Duncan, then Macbeth would not have become a murderer.
If somebody asked me what my favorite type of movie is I would probably say horror. I would say horror because it provides a thrill in me that no other type of movie sparks within me. When reading Stephen King’s article I realized there is more to a horror movie than just thrill, there is anticipation, and even suspense shown. In “Why We Crave Horror Movies”, Stephen King uses a mysterious tone and pathos to successfully persuade his audience of kids and adults into watching mysterious horror movies that will let you re-establish your feelings.
One of the reasons that this film made the top ten films of all time
I have very little faith or truth in the American media. I feel that most news station want so badly to be the first to report the news that there rarely gather all the facts first. I also feel that there is a real bias in the news that portrays minorities in an unfavorable light. For example, when Travon Martin was killed the new portrayed him as a “thug” or some sort of juvenile delinquent. On the other hand, when Dylan Roof shoot and killed nine church members he was just a “good kid that suffered a mental break down.” Broadcasters are supposed to fulfill a community need by providing the public with information. They make billions through public airwaves that cost them nothing to utilize. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox News are the five major
A girl runs frantically through the woods trying to escape an axe wielding villain. The defenseless victim suddenly trips and collapses to the ground. The villain laughs wickedly as he lifts the axe above his head. The girl releases a final scream as the weapon quickly ends her life, causing the audience to go silent as they watch the villain drag away the lifeless body. Death, blood, guts, suspense, screaming, and terror are all just a few things to expect when watching a modern day horror film. What is horror? Horror can be defined as an intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust. (Wilson) The description of horror is not very pleasant, but for some reason horror films are extremely popular. Why is this so? People are addicted to the
''The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!!! ...'' Father Merrin&Father Damien Karras from the movie -The Exorcist-
As stated before, different cultures are scared of different monsters. Horror movies are only as scary as the viewer perceives them based personal experiences. Essentially, the viewer has to know what is scary before they can be
Before the Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock made its way into theaters across the world, film was produced in a completely different way. Some of the elements that were in Psycho were things that nobody saw in movies before. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman, when the movie came out, it took place in “an atmosphere of dark and stifling ‘50s conformity” and that the elements of the film “tore through the repressive ‘50s blandness just a potently as Elvis had.” (Hudson). Alfred Hitchcock changed the way that cinema was made by breaking away from the old, “safe” way of creating a movie and decided to throw all of the unwritten rules of film making out the window. The main ways he accomplished this task was by adding graphic violence, sexuality, and different ways to view the film differently than any other movie before its time.
Nothing will ever go according to plan. Tests are failed, people are changed, loves are lost. As is the case with Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride, following the story of an elegiac young man, the son of newly rich fishmongers. Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp) is betrothed to Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), the daughter of penniless aristocrats, to heighten both of their families, and despite his initial terror, he falls in love with her. Unfortunately, Victor has a horrible time at the rehearsal and cannot remember his vows, leading him off into the words where, while practicing, he inadvertently puts the wedding ring on the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a young woman who was murdered on her wedding day for her parent 's money. Victor’s adventures in the land of the dead tear him between his new wife and his intended bride, while teaching him more about himself and those around him. Throughout the film, the elegantly lifelike clay figures portray the lifelessness of the living juxtaposed with the liveliness of the dead in Victorian Europe.
A sixteen-year-old boy sits on the couch and watches a horror movie. Suddenly, a scene where a man stabs a woman emerges on the television screen. The boy is not distressed by this scene because he is used to witnessing a great deal of violence before. He just learned a new idea and increased his criminal expertise. As a result, horror movies inspire copycat crimes. Copycat crimes are defined as those that are “inspired, motivated or modeled after acts that have occurred before in the media” (“Understanding”). The crimes themselves either mirror the inspiring acts or are simply based upon them. Violence and criminal behavior shown in horror movies affect people psychologically and physically. Watching violence in the media desensitizes people to the world around them and enables them to become more familiar with violence and crime. One may conclude that horror movies do not affect them because they watch horror for fun, however, people are unconsciously affected by watching horror movies. Although most people believe horror movies do not impact them, horror movies inspire people to commit copycat crimes in real life because the violence portrayed in the media psychologically damages people and makes them more aware of violence.
Horror films are movies that aim to elicit a strong physiological reaction in the viewer, such as raised heartbeat and fear.

Anger runs through people’s veins, it is a tricky thing to avoid. During Macbeth, some characters let anger get the best of them. For example, by the end of the play lady Macbeth kills herself from anger and not being to be able to get what she wants. She knows that she hates Duncan and wants to attack him, but she knows that she can’t do it right so she asks Macbeth if he can do it because she knows that Macbeth can do it but Macbeth says no and she grows angry at him and
Corpse Bride is a beautiful movie about love, death, and sacrifices, in a classic Tim Burton style the movie is dark but with a gradual light. The living world is portrayed as dull and nearly colorless but the land of the dead is a completely different situation because it is full of color and excitement.
