    When you think about a horror film, usually there is a lot of blood and gore involved but this film stayed away from the norm and took more of a realistic approach. There were no special effects to try and scare the viewers or anything of that nature. The director used real life events that could occur to grab the attention of the audience in a creepy way. There were a lot of dark undertones used as well as spooky sounds and an eerie soundtrack. In looking at the cinematography, there was a lot of fading in and out of the camera to exaggerate the horror in the film.…

    During the winter months, there are many different areas where fog occurs in the United States. States in the west, like California, Oregon, and Washington, it is not uncommon for there to be several consecutive days of fog that form overnight and disappear in the mid-morning or early afternoon. Places along the Pacific Coast such as Morro Bay, California and San Francisco, California tend to see a considerable amount of fog that travels over the water and move inland.

    Helping people doesn't bring justice at all the time. Most people like to help each other, especially when they believe these people are really in need of that help since they have unfair situations. In the novel, the house of sand and fog, it is obvious that Lester is typically a pipeline over providing justice. Since he feels responsible for Kathy’s situation, he tries to help her in order to provide justice and prove his manhood, “Lester began to feel as inauthentic a man as was possible, living in a marriage he no longer felt, working as a law enforcer when he’d never been able to face any man down on his own, to serve or protect anyone without the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department behind him” (Dubus III, page 240).…

    The town lay nestled within the hills, quiet and secluded. Trade rarely arrived from the broad river that flowed through the middle of town, and the merchants that came with them were businesslike and quiet. No one had dared to follow the river’s meandering path, nor did anyone desire to do so. And such, when Captain Tory first arrived, curious questions and rumors swirled about him. The voices of children posited simple inquiries and feverishly tangled theories while parents watched and tacitly mused over the oft-exaggerated nature of a sailor’s tales.…

Part of Mr. Utterson’s encounter with Mr. Hyde could be described by the effect of the fog on the setting. The fog was concealing the moon with “frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow” (40). Dr. Jekyll is a well respected man who is seen in good light. Meanwhile, he has also spent most of his life repressing his dark evil urges, which he now has a release for through Mr. Hyde.…
