What I have to say is in no way a reflection of your overall talent or skills. This is merely a review of a movie that tried and failed. It tried to be a gory, slasher flick and it only ended up being a mean, bloody mess of a film. With its crass death metal soundtrack and anti-religion message, The Orphan Killer is a flick that does gore for gore sake and not much else.…

Unfortunately the genres that stick to the same routine (can’t create a new path) are becoming outdated do to having a predictable or old fashioned plot (theme). For example genres such as; Musicals (film), Western (film), Pacman (game) and unfortunately soon to be Horror (film) are becoming the same with every upcoming film that claim a genre. One reason that it is becoming the same is because with each generation a writer/director/producer think they know what the fans are looking for based on…

Alfred Hitchcock was a film director from England who moved the United States in 1939. He was famously known as the “Master of Suspense”. Hitchcock’s golden years of his cinema career were from the 1950’s to the 1960’s. During this time, he made various famous films, such as Vertigo, North by the Northwest, and Psycho.

Horror is one of my favorite film genres, and I enjoy all the subgenres that go along with it.

Furthermore, there are also two periods of the horror genre; classic and modern. Classic horror consists of movies that are based…

Perception of Monsters in Film Horror, as a genre of film, has grown and expanded from its beginnings in the 1930s when the term was brought about. Horror films, according to Noël Carroll, are paradoxical in the fact that they provide the viewer with something in the film that they can find to be both disgusting and pleasurable. This paradox of horror is further described by Carroll as being necessary in order to achieve the cognitive pleasure provided by the narrative of the film. “Horror…

Joan Gries Eng. Comp. 1001 6/24/16 Gender discrimination in horror: Gender discrimination continues to be a problem, even in today’s society. Even though our values have produced some changes, film makers still seem to regularly allow sexism and prejudice behaviors in their films. Films are quiet the ultimate expressive experience thus far devised by man. Invoking such sensory euphoric experiences that combines visual, audial, and emotions that simply engage us so deeply that perhaps we…

We opted to view the film Alice Sweet Alice, directed by Alfred Sole for three reasons. The first, and primary reason that we selected this films is that it is a part of the slasher-film genre, which is our favorite genre of horror films. These films generally have a more fascinating, twisted, and gore-filled storyline then their horror-film counterparts. This film, unlike many others predating 1980, has a very frightening and intimidating film trailer. It is often said that one cannot judge a…
