Neve Campbell was a tour de force giving it all out in this sequal slasher, as she has grown to be my favorite Scream Queen. The gore was exhilarting as Ghostface slices and dices his way to get to Sidney, Gail and Dewey. For less then 2 hours Scream 2 is worth the watch, it's fun, scary and making you want more in the end. Wes Craven always delivers what I look for in great horror movies. I was totally digging the entire new cast, as Wes made us fell even the old cast couldn't be trusted just as much as the new. The music to the film wasn't nearly as good though, which is one thing I look forward to a movie. As the soundtrack was tacky, boring and not even close to peaking my interest to actually buy the soundtrack. I would have to say that was my least favorite

    Too many horror films provide scares and screams throughout their respective cinemas.  Not many viewers follow what kind of model the films follow to appease their viewers.  However, after reading film theorist Carol Clover’s novel, watching one of the films she associates in the novel “Halloween”, and also watching the movie “Nightmare on Elm Street” I say almost every “slasher” or horror film follows a model similar to Clover’s.  The model is a female is featured as a primary character and that females tend to always overcome a situation at some point throughout the film.

    According to Time magazine's Richard Corliss, Natural Born Killers is "the ideal recipe for a Stone-crazy parable of greed and abuse." Corliss describes with great enthusiasm the main characters of the film -- Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis -- as "love-thugs. . . two doomed maniacs busy mythologizing themselves"; Tom Sizemore as a "brutish detective" hoping to capture them; Robert Downey, Jr., a tabloid reporter who wants to "exploit their exploits by turning them into media darlings"; and Tommy Lee Jones as a "crazed wa...

  • Commercial Success of the 'Torture Porn' Horror Genre

    “Torture porn” developed the horror movies not by attracting so many audiences, but also by proving to be commercially successful, with some of the movies becoming the highest earning in the horror genre. I have already talked about the Saw(2004) movie. It is one of those movies to set the record for highest earning horror film, earning the growth collection of more than $100 million worldwide. After this movie got so successful, they made another squeal of this movie. They titled it Saw II and it actually earned more than $147 million. Similarly, they made it up to seven parts so far and as far as I know there is the last part or the final chapter; Saw VIII too, which is uncertainly going to be released in the summer of 2016. So far the total box office collected globally from all seven parts of Saw are above $800 million. Hostel sequels are the other movies to set the record on high grossing horror film. Its clearly stated in the Forbes,“Roth made Hostel for $4.5 million, and the film was released in January 2006. Hostel grossed a total $80 million worldwide in theaters, plus DVD sales of $21 million.” This is a total worldwide collection of just one part of this film. There are up to 3 sequels. They aren't bad at all. They are already higher than the Bollywood highest grossed film. I have

    poster typically has the white cowboy large, presented front and center, with the antagonists and co-stars all behind him. An iconic western, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, has a poster picturing the white cowboy alone. Clint Eastwood stands there tall, stoic, and singular. Typical of most other westerns, the white cowboy is the center of attention. Here, however, there are two non-white figures presented: Bart, the Black cowboy, and a large Native American chief. This movie poster has the same style as other westerns with the color and layout, but is unique in the fact that a black man is presented where a white man would normally be dominating. Once again, this makes a statement about racial improvements. Previously having a black man at

  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the Dark Shadow Within

    1525 Words  | 4 Pages

    The horror genre is synonymous with images of terror, violence and human carnage; the mere mention of horror movies evokes physical and psychological torture. As remarked by noted author Stephen King “the mythic horror movie…has a dirty job to do. It deliberately appeals to all that is worst in us. It is morbidity unchained, our most base instincts let free, our nastiest fantasies realized.” (King, 786). At manageable intervals, we choose to live these horrific events vicariously through the characters in horror movies and books as a means of safely experiencing the “what if”. The horror genre allows us to explore our fears, be it spiders, vampires, loss of our identity, or death of a loved, under the most fantastic and horrible circumstances conceivable. King also points out that by watching horror movies we “may allow our emotions a free rein . . . or no rein at all.” (King, 784). According to psychiatrist James Schaller, by vicariously “experiencing contrived fears, a person develops a sense of competence over similar types of fears.” (Schaller). Horror films allow the viewer the opportunity to safely examine their fears safely and to the depth and extent they wish to do so. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 provides the opportunity for the viewer to consider a diverse range of fears, with a little humor thrown in for balance, from the safety of a darkened room, a comfortable seat and in less than 120 minutes.

    When you hear “I’ll be right back” in a horror film, it is over for that character. They will not be making it to the sequel. The third rule of Scream has a connection to removing those objects that tempt us to sin. Matthew wrote in Gospel “If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.” (Matthew 5:29) His verse talks about removing the influences in your life that cause you to sin. In the horror films, the ethically challenged characters disappear. The characters that disappear tend to bring the other characters down ethically and are considered the right eye that causes sin. They are torn out to save the rest of the body. Remember the example of where Myers murdering Bob and Lynda. It is already known Bob was underage drinking, but Bob told Lynda “I’ll be right back.” Bob already committed the sin of adultery with Lynda, but he went to grab alcohol for him and Lynda. He was bringing more sin into the room and by saying “I’ll be right back” he created an arrogance for his character. Lynda could have saved herself, but she didn’t know that Michael Myers was removing Bob from the

    As a fan of cinema, I was excited to do this project on what I had remembered as a touching portrait on racism in our modern society. Writer/Director Paul Haggis deliberately depicts his characters in Crash within the context of many typical ethnic stereotypes that exist in our world today -- a "gangbanger" Latino with a shaved head and tattoos, an upper-class white woman who is discomforted by the sight of two young Black kids, and so on -- and causes them to rethink their own prejudices during their "crash moment" when they realize the racism that exists within themselves.

    Obviously casting Jamie Lee Curtis, a scream queen whose mother (Janet Leigh from Psycho) is the original scream queen, is a nod toward the audience. Additionally with a character named Loomis, after a character in the classic Psycho(1960) and showing clips of horror movies like Howard Hawks' The Thing (1951), Carpenter has created a world that exists primarily in the realm of reality. This world is realistic enough so that the audience can relate and associate with the characters, but also has enough of the self-referentialism to always keep the audience aware that they are watching a movie, not an accurate of representation of

    The movie Doubt is set in a private Catholic School in 1960s. Sister Aloysius is the principal of the school, and Father Flynn is the clergyman in the church. While the movie deals with some moral dilemmas such as doubt versus certainty, rigidity versus openness and so on, the central theme of the story pivots on accusation on Father Flynn of child molestation. The story has a hanging ending where Father Flynn is proven neither guilty nor proven innocent. Based on the contents of the movie and my own analysis, I believe that certainty plays a bigger role in accusations and I believe that Father Flynn had been falsely blamed and I am also against the rigidity of the society.

    The film follows a group of friends who fall victim to a family of cannibals while on their way to visit an old homestead. Although it was marketed as a true story to attract a wider audience and as a subtle commentary on the era's political climate, its plot is entirely fictional; however, the character of Leatherface and minor plot details were inspired by the crimes of real-life murderer Ed Gein, similar to Psycho’s Norman Bates and Silence of the Lamb’s Buffalo Bill. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is without a doubt a horror movie. It features a group of friends traveling through the Texas state to a homestead belonging to the family of one of the group. Along the way, they pick up a hitchhiker who proves to be more than they bargained for, so they ditch him. The group separates at the homestead and two lovers plan to go to a waterhole, but find it dried up. The two characters then hear a generator running in the distance and follow the sound to a house where they intend to ask for gas as their vehicle is running low on fuel. It is here that Leatherface makes his first appearance, bashing one of the character’s head in with a hammer, and kidnapping the other. Soon enough, final girl Sally, portrayed by Marilyn Burns, is the last one standing and she is held at the mercy of an entire family of psychotic cannibals with Leatherface serving as the muscle-bound slave of

    I also love these movies for the butt-kicking leaders of the movie .The first horror movies I watched ever was Resident Evil It was playing in my parent’s room as I was walking through, probably doing some random 6 year old stuff. Then the movie caught my attention because it just started. There wasn’t much at first, especially at the time I didn't understand much in general; so I was about to leave the room. Then “bang” out of nowhere and zombies start popping out, and this one chick in the movie is kicking all the zombie butts. It’s pretty much movie about zombies that is like on steroids, and the main character, Alice, is immune to the virus; so then she uses that advantage and her fighting skills to save others from the apocalypse. Alice is just running and flying around everywhere blasting zombie guts everywhere. Those kind of scenes fire me up inside and makes my hype! King says that “ horror movies, like roller coasters, have always been the special province of the young” (King 358). It's very true that after a while you decline of horror movies are being watched by the increase of age pass 40. The movie The Final Destination, the fourth one in it’s series, just came out on DVD. My whole family was set to watch it; 20 minutes in the movie, just pass the catastrophic speedway death scene my parents said “ Nope, Nope
