Movies have many genres like romance, comedy, horror etc.
Horror movies are made to try and scare the person or people watching and
sometimes they succeed and you have nightmares about the film for weeks or they
are so terrible you can’t help but laugh. Over the years it is clear to see
that old films, although back in there time they were “hide under the blanket”
scary, now they are something to fall asleep too. New horror films are scarier and are more
likely to create fear, this can be to do with the effects being better or
scarier monsters/ghosts etc. because thought of and being placed in a fearful
story.
Most horrors focus on clichés like taking place in a remote
distant place; this could be old half empty/ abandoned towns (Jeepers’
creepers), a cave (decent) and the woods (wrong turn, cabin in the woods).
Another clichés would be some kind of focus on the dark for example being in a
house with no electricity or searching the woods and the torch dies. The reason
these are focused on and featured a lot is because everyone can relate to (for
example) how scary the woods are in the dark and the way you imagine what’s
behind your back, or hiding in the shadows and bushes. So the more you can
relate to the situation the more likely you are to be scared because everyone
at some point has been scared of the dark, for one reason or another.
The scariest horror film I ever saw was “The bogeyman” 2005,
in fact the first time I watched for the film It scared me too much and I only
got about 10 minutes into it, the scene was a young boy in his room and he
keeps seeing the bogeyman each time he turned off his light, eventually his dad
comes in to check on him and after settling the boy down he checked under the
bed and in the wardrobe and as he was standing by the wardrobe he turns round
to face the boy, his back to the wardrobe and something drags him in. Watching
that scene I was holding onto my pillow for dear life, looking around my room
from fear of the bogeyman showing up. That night and for the next couple of
months I slept with a nightlight, that scene brought back my fear of the dark.
Other films didn't scare me as much like “wrong turn 4:
bloody beginnings” 2011, I enjoy this film so much but not because it scares me
or it has fantastic acting and effects this is because it has none of those.
The story is interesting and easy to follow, when watching this film with my
friends we clearly had favorites and we said “aww I didn't want him to die”
whenever they did but we were rarely grossed out because the effects wasn't
that good. The most enjoyable scene was right at the end where the two last
victims have managed to get on a Jet Ski and drive away only to be met with
cheese wire that took their heads straight off, instead of being in shock that
no one survived me and my friends were in hysterics for the next 2 hours.
Horror movie remakes are often unbelievably rubbish, however
the “woman in black” 2012 I found myself burring my head into my sisters arm,
as we watched it in the cinema which made it more scarier in my opinion, but
the movie has suspense, jump scares and scary ghost. The woman in black I
though was greatly created and designed because she could leave the house she
was haunting and kill children which struck fear into everyone but mostly
children because at least adults could say that The woman in black would kill
them. Also I love how the charter looked like a woman in black, so at night
time when you are in your room trying to get to sleep and you see a shadow for
curtains or draws or clothes, you can make a resemblance which continues to
scare you.
When I went to the cinema to see “the conjuring” 2013 one of
the scariest parts for me is when the ghost appears on top of the wardrobe and
then jumps down and attacks the girl. This freaked me out mostly when I got
home and because I store things on top of my wardrobe it looked like she was on
top of my wardrobe like she was ion the film.
