Summary of Favorite Horror Movie
The movie starts with Michael, a police informant, caught in a trap made by a killer the movie’s killer Jigsaw. A video tells him that a helmet full of spikes has been locked around his neck and will close on his head unless he finds the key in time. Michael realizes that the key to the trap is behind his right eye. He finds a scalpel close by, but is too scared to cut his eye out. The timer then runs out, and the trap slams shut and kills Michael. The next scene takes place with the movie’s main character, Detective Eric Matthews arguing with his son Daniel. Matthews is called to a scene of a crime made by Jigsaw. Matthews then notices that a lock on a trap device around the victim's neck has a Wilson Steel logo, which then makes him gather a SWAT team to go to the company's abandoned factory. The factory turns out to be Jigsaw's layer. In the layer, a group T.V monitors show several people trapped in a mysterious house, with Daniel being one of those people. A timer is also there, with two hours left. Jigsaw tells detective Mathews that he will see his son in a "safe, secure state" if he can sit in the room and have a conversation with him long enough. In the house, the people who were kidnapped are trying to figure out how they got there. One person is passed out on the floor and later turns out to be Amanda Young, a character from the first Saw film who escaped a jigsaw trap once before. There are six people in addition to Daniel and Amanda, and none of them knows who the others are. Amanda finds a cassette player and a note falls to the floor. She plays the cassette and they all learn that the door to the house will open in three ho...

... to the house at gunpoint. As they depart, the tech team discovers the signal going to the monitors and follows it. Xavier pursues Amanda and Daniel through a trapdoor, which leads to a bathroom. Xavier then attacks Daniel, but he is only playing dead and slashes Xavier's throat. The SWAT team arrives at the location of the video signal, but it is not the same house that has been shown on the monitors in Jigsaw's lair; the events in the house took place a few hours earlier and were broadcast from tapes. Matthews arrives in the bathroom and is stabbed in the thigh with a hypodermic syringe and knocked unconscious by a person wearing a pig mask. The timer at Jigsaw's lair expires and a safe opens, revealing Daniel inside wearing an oxygen mask. Outside the house, a very badly beaten Jigsaw slowly forms a smile, as he is happy that his master plan has worked perfectly.

    Joel confusedly looks around and behind him he sees a scared Sarah shaking him awake, Tommy just outside of the truck, and directly in front of him, he sees a family being attacked by somebody infected, which jolts him awake and back into reality. With the car now being sideways after the crash, in order to get out, Joel uses all his strength and starts to kick the windshield in front of him until it shatters. Joel carefully crawls out then reaches in for Sarah, avoiding the shards of glass on the ground and still bordering the windshield. Just as she starts to climb out and stand up, she falls over and complains that her leg hurts. A noticeably worried Joel grabs his revolver from his jean pocket then hands it over to Tommy and demands he protect them. Joel picks Sarah up and with her in his arms, they begin running for safety. As Joel sprints through the streets with Sarah in his arms and Tommy just a few feet in front of them, chaos erupts everywhere. In any given direction, there are either citizens or infected individuals dashing through the streets, with dozens of people being attacked along the way.

  • Revitalizing the Slasher Genre: The Impact of Scream

    760 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Do you like scary movies?” purred a sinister voice over the telephone, and immediately Scream had marked itself out as something new in a tired genre. When it was released in 1996, the classic slasher franchises had all pretty much ran out of steam. Scream was different, it was a breath of fresh air: smart and self-referential, it reminded horror fans what they loved about the genre in the first place, and scared them silly at the same time.

  • Halloween Movie Analysis Essay

    509 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

    Stephen King, a very well-known writer and director, has a passionate voice when it comes to anything dealing with horror. In “Why We Crave Horror Movies,” King calls us out for knowing that we love the adrenaline rush and how we are so captivated by horror movies. He explains how we watch horror movies for the level of fun. King proposes that we go to defy ourselves; to see how far it can push us and that is what makes the experience so interesting.

    The first murder that occurs, we do not have the pleasure of viewing, but we know the general gist of the story. Maureen was raped and brutally butchered with a hunting knife and was found in her bedroom, getting blood all over the covers. The next two murders were of Casey Becker and Steve Orth. Steve had his stomach ripped open with a knife and he was strapped to a patio chair with duck tape over his mouth. His intestines had been exposed and there was a pool of blood around the chair. Casey received precisely six phone calls before being gutted, yes WITH a hunting knife, and hung outside in her front lawn from a tree. Principal Himbry, the fourth victim, was stabbed seven times (again with a hunting knife) and hung from the school football goalpost. He was found around the time of Stu's party. The next lucky person was Tatum Riley, Dewey's younger sister and Sidney's best friend (ex). She had her arm sliced by a knife (I'll let you guess what kind) and was found in the garage's kitty door with her head crushed.

  • Not So Scary Movie

    460 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Scary Movie trilogy is a spoof of scary and not so scary films. The first of the three movies to date was released in 2000. The movie was based on the scary movies that were released at that time. These movies included: Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Sixth Sense, and The Blair Witch Project. As the movies progressed they seemed to add parodies of not so scary movies such as Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible II. Even though these movies did not seem to fit into the title, they were still creatively incorporated into the second movie. Then, there is the highly anticipated third movie with spoofs of all the movies that have made it big recently. So, of course this seemed to be the best of the three featuring The Ring, 8 Mile, Signs, The Matrix, and even an "appearance" by the king of pop, Michael Jackson.

  • Super Natural Horror Movie: The Conjuring

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    Last year of 2013 my friends and I went to the cinema to watch one of the most scariest movies called "The Conjuring". The movie, The Conjuring is an American, supernatural horror film based on a family who experienced increasingly disturbing events in their farmhouse. Prior to watching this film it provided information on the type of content and material that was going to be present in the movie. For example, religion became a primary factor affected because it dealt with supernatural power, christianity, and faith. However, for people that werenon- believers and believers they were still enthused to watch the movie but, the censorship helped alarm viewers of the content shown. In many cases viewers prefer having trigger warning or anadvisory signalling of what is goin to appear. Throughout our modern history we have been taught of stories facts and tales of the things that occured in the past. Although all of our past does not reflects problems we still tend to acknowledge and study past conflicts and time in history that help usunderstand the history and evolution of who we are today. At times we stumbled upon the graphics, video clips, and other sources that gives us descriptive details of the occurence at that time. As for example, if a teacher allows her class to watch the video on the biography of Emmit Hill . Emmit Hill was an African-American boy who was brutually murdered in Mississippi at the age of 14 after reportedly flirting with a white woman. If there are no trigger warnings and all of the scenes and pictures of the body is displayed I think it is right of the student to inform the teacher of his or her feelings toward it and at all cost avoid it by giving trigger warnings.

    Would you rather be horrified beyond repair or thrilled to the point of no return? In horror, the main purpose is to invoke fear and dread into the audience in the most unrealistic way. Horror movies involve supernatural entities such as ghosts, vampires, teleportation, and being completely immortal. As thriller films are grounded in realism and involve more suspense, mystery, and a sense of panic. Though both genres will frighten the audience, it will happen in two different ways. Whether the horror thrills or the thriller horrifies, a scare is always incorporated.

  • Essay On Horror Movies

    1605 Words  | 4 Pages

    Has anyone ever stopped and thought about why movie remakes exist? There is always a simple explanation to this conception, and it’s either that Hollywood directors are “lazy” or that Hollywood wants to destroy our childhood scares. For the most part, Hollywood isn’t literally attempting to become futile or destroy the integrity of films, but it’s much for the profit of recreating former popular movies. In addition to that, the revamp graphic quality allows for older movie plots to compete against their modern counterparts, but there still remains an issue. In order to reestablish an older horror film, a newer one has to take its place for the sake of pleasing the current technologically adept generation; however, alterations may completely

  • Horror Film: The Conjuring

    658 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Conjuring is a “real” Hollywood horror film based on possession of the human kind by demonic figures. There's a dog that ends up doing the usual thing dogs do in horror films (they act scared and bark constantly or end up dying unknowingly). There's a doll that end up doing what dolls usually do in horror films (taunt the human body). There's some doors banging, some ghost hunters with motion detectors and UV lights, eerie TV static, and some creepy ghosts who appear out of the blue when you expect to least expect them, and to top it off they add creepy music and the spooky makeup that all ghosts wear so you can identify them or recognize them.
