Blumhouse's Credibility

The movie industry has been developing fast recent years. Due to the improvement of technology, movies are becoming much more widespread nowadays, and especially for the horror movies. Movie directors are able to pursue as many special effects as they can to create a horror atmosphere, which makes those movie plots more eye-catching for the audiences. Honestly, I am not a fan of horror movies. I am not scared of it, I just feel a little bored about it, and I am also confused why people still want to see those movies if they feel paranoid after watching it. However, after reading two articles in Monsters, I come to realize the meaning of creation of horror movies, which is not only for fun, but also a review of our real life.

Vampires are considered a symbol of seduction and sophistication while Frankenstein monsters represent misunderstanding, oppression, and rebellion. Some of the strongest symbolism is found in standard films of the horror genre does not come from the frequently updated relics. Utilizing fear and horror as mechanisms for subtext, social commentary, and symbolism, George Romero created a new horror genre, one that scares and shines just as much as great horror classics.

“‘We’re looking at a highly sophisticated organism, aren’t we?’” The filoviruses are dangerous. They are responsible for the deaths of thousands, nation-wide panic, and the abandonment of homes and villages. But although the book describes the filoviruses with gruesome scenes filled with blood and terror, it also depicts the calm, quiet moments as well, letting the reader fall back and appreciate how peaceful it can be between the moments of panic. “ I heard a ball bounce, and saw a boy dribbling as basketball on a playground. The ball cast rubbery echoes off the former monkey house. Children's shouts came from the daycare center through the trees.” The reader gradually understands that no matter how peaceful the world can seem to be, it will always revert briefly back into its times of chaos and confusion, and that we should appreciate the moments of peace more because of this. It gives the reader a sense that the world is fragile in its balance of the two spectrums, and it horrifies and thrills them. Ultimately, the author’s purpose is to let the reader appreciate the fragility, beauty, and horror of the world and the things that make up

Bart Layton built this doc not from one perspective, but from a collection of them. Some stories, like “The Imposter” need a panoptic approach to connect the audience to the film. The themes of manipulation, identity and love are the main themes conveyed by Layton. These themes are communicated through sounds and visual imagery.

The occasional pauses throughout the novel allow the reader’s focus to shift towards the overachieving epidemic on a global.

This thematic idea presents to the wider society of today by showing that anything that evolves from prior events can cause the violence to lead up to a death in a scene.

By using these scenes from short stories to films, we are able to justify and see that there is examples of what events can lead to

Horror legends John Carpenter, George Romero, Eli Roth, and David Cronenberg, scared their way up the Hollywood ladder by writing, directing, and producing low budget horror movies. The horror genre can launch your career to if you can write gore for the right price!

The director of critically acclaimed movies such as The Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, and the Alice in Wonderland 2010 remake creates fantastic oddities with wickedly funny and grotesquely hilarious gothic style, spotted with poignant moments that make the heart melt. By using a variety of cinematic techniques such as lighting, angles, and music, Tim Burton condones the global audience to take a peek at the dark side.

Perhaps the most iconic Halloween-themed movies of all time, this film, directed by John Carpenter, redefined horror as we know it.

With a huge time gap between the two mediums, much diversity can be found between them. Horror was able to maintain its presence in society, but continues to develop at a rapid pace. This is evident in the remake of Carrie, showing how the themes of gore and violence have been pushed in more recent adaptations. We see

When it comes to movies, many directors are good at their jobs. However, other directors are great in the art of film making. There is no doubt such statement is considered utterly subjective, but what would life be without subjectivity, for it is our differences that make us thrive against a monotonic existence. By the same token, Alfred Hitchcock and Christopher Nolan utilize their singularities to create films that for decades have impacted the movie making universe. In fact, it is their differences that provide us with a high contrast to compare and scrutinize their job and find what made them great at it.
