...a film that was revolutionary in its production, its subtext as understood in historical reference, and its lasting effects on the horror genre.
His experimental and unique perverse screenwriting has shocked and inspired numerous people. His aesthetics painted horror vividly and presented itself dramatically. His musical and cinematic vision was a healthy extension of his devilishly, clever, and demented mind. His modes of publication with music, film and print, had and still a tremendous fanbase. He has gained our attention in every media related forum and we can’t look away, even if we try. He has left us cheering, screaming and on the edge of our seats. We leave feeling bad about ourselves for watching his visual storytelling unfold. “You know, it’s like, I’m going to sit here for 90 minutes and watch these guys get fucked up with no hope. That’s what I love about these films, you walk out feeling bad about yourself, saying “Why did I enjoy that? What does this say about me as a person?” It is a cathartic experience that horror lovers can have again and again. Not acting on those horrific urges, but instead, becoming one of his characters that were just never really understood and that evil is real. Evil never dies and revenge always wins or at least in horror
The director I chose to do my Analysis/Research paper on is was David Cronenberg. After screening The Dead Zone, Cronenberg’s work impressed me. Prior to this class I had never heard his name, even though I had seen previous works such as The Fly. Since I had already viewed this movie I resorted to alternate movies he had directed. I was able to locate The Brood and Videodrome. The main reason I chose Cronenberg for my director had to do with his style. His movies are not the typical horror flick one has come used to today. When I was younger these movies were low budget and have a character such Jason from Friday the 13th running around with an ax and a hockey mask. Today the industry has progressed to Ben Wilson from I Know What You did Last Summer running around with a sharp hook for a hand. Somewhere between these two genres Mr. Cronenberg’s work fits in. He is not obsessed with the body count as many other horror directors are and is also able to develop a plot rather rare in this type of a film.
Stevens was famous for “shooting from an underdeveloped screenplay that was ever in flux, finding the film as he shot it and later edited it.” (Hopwood, 2014) He preferred to take his time and jus...
...The actors were accurate with the dialogue and how they thought and portrayed the characters well. The main character particular interested me was the main character by the his actions and his use of dialogue was spot on and he was directed in the right way.I believe this film was a success due to the acting of the characters and how they were portrayed well. This entitled me to grasp a better knowledge of how they lived and the environment they lived in. The emotional response to events and how the other people in the storyline played their part that made the character understandable and realistic. I felt like I experienced part of his life. The use of characterization , music and sound effects and visual techniques to help make it a striking film. After the watching the film again I feel that I have accomplished a well developed critical and analytical skills.
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 just a few things to expect when watching a modern-day horror film.
“Vertigo” was an American film released in 1958 by acclaimed filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock was widely regarded as the “master of suspense” in the film world, so it should be no surprise that “Vertigo” is a suspenseful film, focusing on elements like neo-noir and psychological thrills. Similar to Citizen Kane, “Vertigo” was initially met with a polarizing reaction from both critics and audiences, but as time went on people began to appreciate its style and it’s now regarded as a classic film, as well as being one of the most influential films. In this critique I’m going to give my thoughts on the several different aspects and themes of “Vertigo”, to understand why it is as highly touted as it is.
Victor Salva, one of the greatest movie producers in history, has dipped his pen in many different inks. He has engaged in many different genres of work but the most outstanding to me is the work he does with his suspenseful, horror films. Many films of Salva’s have been made and remade because the demand for more work because with time comes better quality of pro-duction, light, and technology to bring an even better piece of work to the audience.
During the discussion, the questions from my screening were, "What causes the major turning points in the movie come?", "What topics does this movie address, how?", and "Do you feel that the villain represents the evil appropriately?". The first question sparked a major discussion as it was debated back and forth
Part 4: I think Jaws is a good horror movie, and the technique it use I think is in the top 10 that time, even top 1. Because actually they use a robert shark, but the movement is very similar as the real shark. And the mise - en - scene is good, especially is lighting, it is suit with the scene. Sound effects and music are show/highlight horror feeling. Editing make the scene/action Fluent and coherent, viewer will not feel anything strange. For me I think the only mistake that Jaws have is the scene effects is not same as the movie now so when I watch Jaws first I was feel a little strange.
(It is important that a working understanding of these films is established to give some context for the paper, so I will provide a brief synopsis of each one before continuing on with a deeper discussion of it.) When Harry Met Sally... foll...

I often tell people that interviewing the young people in the film/TV industry is the task in which I most revel. While I had only heard of the popular Netflix show Anne With An E, when I was given the opportunity to ask Kyla Matthews (Ruby Gillis) a few questions about her career, I jumped at the chance. Interestingly enough, Hallmark audiences are familiar with her work as well. It is with immense enthusiasm that I share her insightful responses with my readers today!
Since the late 1920’s until the early 40’s thrillers have just continued to increase in their success. With movies like Black Mail (1929), Number Seventeen (1932), Man Hunt (1941), and Touch of Evil (1958) they all demonstrate the versatility a thriller can possess. With the ability for thrillers to blend so well with other genres like horror, it helps thrillers in evolving to a much better genre. When blending with other genres, thrillers typically use certain themes to help them become a more entertaining movie. Themes such as, murder, crime, and suspense all help shape how diverse and unique thrillers are when mixed together with other genres like horror, drama, action, and mystery.
