My claim is that the 13 ghost revolutionize the ghost movies on plots.Now we should compare the 1960’s 13 ghost to the 2001 version of the 13 ghost, the 1960’s version was just pretty much like a scooby-doo episode that is not child friendly so there will be deaths, the ghost looks wakie but still scary for its time. After that the ghost was a bit more friendly. But on the 2001 version it made everything scary with brutal deaths.Furthermore the ghost was always lethal to any human beings. Also there was a huge story behind the movie for example cyrus died so the family got the mansion and the money.After that the humans die in ways that will scare you for example getting your body get chopped off horizontally with all your body parts still …show more content…
Sometimes just one time can be enough.Therefore, i think what she is saying that the killer should kill none or kill one.

On October 14th, 2016 in class we watched “Two Spirits” by Lydia Nibley. Basically the film explored the cultural context behind a tragic and senseless murder of the main character. Fred was part of an honored “Navajo” youth who was killed at the age of sixteen by a man who bragged to his friends that he was nothing but a “fag”. While walking home from a carnival he was chased by one of his friends. Once his friend caught up to Fred, he pulled him down from a mountain and smashed his head with a heavy rock. Fred laid there for five days straight where two young boys found his body lying there. He was labeled as a “two-spirit” who was possessed of balancing masculine and feminine traits. In the film, there are two parts that are put together effortlessly like the people it discusses. Most of the documentary focuses on Fred’s murder, but the real issues in the film were those of the lesbian, gay, and transgender community and how its members were viewed in a
Audiences love to be scared. Horror films attempt to find some sort of trigger in the audiences mind, and develop it to create horror. Preceded by the great horror novels such as Dracula, and developed in the early nineteen twenties and nineteen thirties in Germany. From slash movies, to the post-modern psychological thrillers, horror films have evolved into an art form. This genre relies heavily on the basic horror conventions.
Halloween is rife with psychological scares that affect its audience greatly. “Symbolism, dreamlike imagery, emotional rather than rational logic” are present in Psychoanalytic criticism. Siskel and Ebert talked about how the movie makes you feel as if you are the protagonist, scared for your life and feeling every bit of suspense (Siskel and Ebert). The movie is purely fueled by emotional responses to what is happening to the characters and focuses itself purely on how the audience will respond. In the clip shown, the main protagonist talks about how she killed the killer but he is shown alive. The movie is not concerned with the logic; otherwise, the killer would have at least been slowed down by the injuries he sustained. Siskel and Ebert laud the movie on its set up of scenes, score, character development, and use of lighting to make the audience feel the terror the characters undergo.
From here we moved on to the witchcraft and the undead such Peeping Tom (1960) and The Night of Dead (????) . New films brought with them new conventions. Zombie films trapped the audience, claustrophobic attack scenes when the zombies came closer towards the camera. Horror finally became horror with the slasher movie era. They became realistic but also they became more stylised. Based on a real life tragic such as, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Halloween (1978) and Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) screens where awash with blood. This is where we see male psycho, the unwilling hero and teenage trouble. There are also soul survivors that carry the seque...
The movie Paranormal Activity portrayed a young Caucasian couple, who throughout the movie experience a series of traumatic events. These events become more severe within a time span of twenty-one nights. Micah, and his girlfriend Katie, notice that there are weird occurrences throughout the night as they try to sleep. So in order to keep record of what is happening, Micah bought a camera. With this camera he proved the existence of entities that had entered his house.
Similarly, but discussing more sacred stories the documentary Spirit Doctors was filmed with the purpose of education and to answer the documenters question of how to handle culture and its responsibilities, which became a video that aims to preserve ceremony. The Elders, from both Blood and Cree nations, who are shown through the documentary, decided that it was time that these certain ceremonies were shared openly. They discussed this as an opportunity to remind Indigenous people of their roots and that “ Nothing is forgotten. Only left behind” (Burke, 2005). Indicating that returning to ceremony and regaining language though difficult will never be impossible and also imparting stories and traditions that would normally be passed on solely
Suspense embodied this film and luckily during the late 1960's Hollywood was at a time where filmmakers were able to push the limits. Many religious groups were outraged with the movie but if it weren't for the work of Polanski in Rosemary's Baby, classic horror films, such as The Exorcist, and other suspense films would cease to exist.
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.
In the end Psycho gave birth to movies as we know them today especially our horror films. It inspired more mystery in murder films and even played a small part in detective films. It was an unconventional film especially for its time and pushed the boundaries of the industry. This daring step gave rise to the villains that we know today. There would be none of the masked murders that we have grown to fear if it were not for Alfred Hitchcock and his Psycho. His bold and daring movie that cost him money from his own pocket gave rise to a whole new genre of slasher films; films that we have grown to love and fear. This film gave us a new type of monster to fear one that can live inside anyone. It gave us so much more than just one scare but scares that have continued for fifty years now.
People flock to horror movies each year. Usually to be scared. Another is to solve the question of Who done it? Unfortunately, a lot of these horror movies fail to scare people or make the killer so obvious the audience gets bored. Occasionally, there are a few horror movies that stick out. Scream, directed by Wes Craven, is one of them. Wes Craven is always toying with the viewer's fears. Always finding ways to scare the audience at every turn. He also plays with the viewer's head, and has them second guessing themselves. How does he do it? Well, as one of the characters in the movie exclaims, "There's a formula to it. A very simple formula. Everybody's a suspect!" This paper will discuss how Craven uses sound, camera shots, and mise en scene
make us see exactly what he wants us to and this film is a very good
The Nelly Butler hauntings is referred to as the first recorded ghost story in American history (LiBrizzi 5), and possibly the most exciting hauntings to date as there are still many unsolved mysteries. The apparition appeared on more than 30 separate occasions to over 100 witnesses in Sullivan, Maine, just over fifteen years after the American Revolution (5-6). Although the Nelly Butler apparition is one of the most convincing ghosts of all time, it was subject to suspicions of fraud. These claims turn out to be groundless as the evidence reveals the ghost to be genuine.
1980. Warner Bros. Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Music by Wendy Carlos and Rcachel Elkind. Cinematography by John Alcott. Editing by Ray Lovejoy. With Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd.
Almost everyone has a favorite genre of film, but how everyone defines their favorite genre can differ greatly. Horror is one of the genres where its definition can be perceived differently by many people. Like all other genres, horror does have rules and traditions that must be included in order for a film to be considered a horror film. These rules and traditions include a protagonist, an antagonist, an escape or escape attempt of some sort, and very influential audio and visual effects.
Alfred Hitchcock present Psycho, a thriller and horror movie that has been commended for forming a darker shocking territory film in the 1960’s. A secretary Marion Crane on the run after stealing 40,000 dollars from her employer to sprint away with her boyfriend Sam Lomis. Marion thought by stealing the money will erase the overwhelming debt. Hitchcock succeeds in capturing the audience early senses of awareness and suspicion while letting it to identify with Marion’s abandoned situation.
