gruesome, so why do people crave it? Horror films have grown and developed over the past decades. Our society established new fears and Hollywood is ready to make money off of us. Scary…

and influenced by earlier creators of film. For my film maker I chose Wes Craven and for his influence I chose Ingmar Bergman. Wes Craven is widely known around the world as the creator of the infamous horror characters Freddy Krueger and Ghost face from Scream. He of course created many other films other than the gruesome tale of Krueger that deserve recognition, two of my favorites being Pulse (2006) and Cursed (2005). Though he had a wide selection of films one can?t deny that A Nightmare on…

mother makes her go to these meetings for teens with cancer, and that’s where she met Augustus. Augustus and Hazel get the chance to go to Italy and meet their favorite author , Peter Van Houten. All through the movie they go through so many obstacles and break boundaries that they never thought they could do because of their diseases. The critics could not come to an agreement with their reviews; some were positive and some were negative. One aspect of the film that the reviewers found to be…

The film, The Central Park Five (Burns, 2012) talks about a true story of a group of innocent teens who gave false confessions that led to getting falsely convicted for the assault, rape, and sodomy of a young female jogger named Trisha Meili.

The police took this as the perfect opportunity to…

to hide her fear so she does not look lame in front of her peers. Tonight, the girl will lay awake for hours, the girl’s anxiety debilitating even the idea of sleep, and it will persist throughout the entire month. The source of all her fear is the film rendition of Stephen King’s The Shining, which was watched at the girl’s friends’ 5th-grade sleepover. However, one of the girl’s friends is now lying awake as well, but in excitement rather than fear. The movie made her heart race in an…

The Warm Bodies movie best fits a family/teen oriented type of movie. The movie is well directed by Jonathan Levine. The movie has various genres of comedy, romance, horror, etc. Warm Bodies could possibly be a twist of another “Romeo & Juliet” love story, except in a zombie version. In the movie, “Warm Bodies” is set in a strange zombie invaded world, where numerous of zombies roam around an abandoned airport. I guess that’s where they all practically live in. Though, there is just something…

Also makeup and costume help to efficiently complete the actors character, which allows the actor to act to the best of their ability. Yes, CGI is an alternative to both…

movie based on his novel, and called it Jamie Marks is Dead. The 1 hour, 41 minute long horror/drama film is tastefully savvy, fit for teens that have a knack for gay-platonic romance films mixed with death and depression. The movie came out just last year in January, and has been rated as “a poetic but flawed meditation on human connection,”(Sundance Review) yet I believe that this enticing film deserves better. Jamie Marks is Dead has its own way of telling a bullied boy’s story and…

Onibaba: Art Film or Prestige Horror? What is or is not horror is defined by the viewer, and with that perspective, it is within my role as the viewer to declare Onibaba, prestige art film, a horror film as well. In the Kawin reading, we are told that "bad horror" is a "spectacle", full of meaningless death and gore, with no investment required by the viewer, or greater message to provide (325). "Good horror" guides the viewer to psychological understanding of human nature and teaches us…
