The Red Room Analysis
I'm from the United States of America and the story that I read was "The Red Room" by H. G. Wells. One of the most prevalent and popular forms of horror in the last decade has be the "psychological terror" sub-genre, as was displayed in Wells' story.
From films such as the "Saw" franchise to 2009's "Orphan", American's seem to enjoy movies that plays on the fears of the mind. My personal favorite is the horror film "1408", based on Stephen King's short story of the same name, the main character is a man who spend a night in a supposed haunted/cursed hotel room, while initially skeptical, he soon finds that the room begins to methodically torment his psyche.

    Summary Of My Creature From The Black Lagoon Stephen King

    In “My Creature From the Black Lagoon”, Stephen King compares and contrasts how children and adults handle fear, specifically in movies. His main argument is that the fear experienced by both adults and children is the result of a focus on the movie in which all emotions are fixated on the movies, and there is no logical thinking of the unrealism. In other words, their fixation allows for their imagination to dominate.…

    Steven King Why We Crave Horror Movies Analysis

    The horror genre is meant to bring out the worst in people. Each and every person has dark and evil thoughts that are not often seen during the day. However, the moment they begin watching a horror movie, those evil thoughts take over. It is a “peculiar sort of fun, indeed. The fun comes from seeing others menaced – sometimes killed” (King, 1). These sort of movies appeal to the side of people that is often tucked away. While I am driving down the highway and a person suddenly cuts me off and I have to slam on the breaks, I often think what would happen if I jumped out of my car and slammed…

    Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind Analysis

    Films that claim the statement, “based on a true story” intend to make all of the pictured events as accurate as possible. While depicting a historic moment can be incredible hard, it can be even harder when the original script is constructed upon a lie. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a movie based the life of the man responsible for creating a genre of television in which we capitalize on today, but also for creating an autobiography so far- fetched that it appears to be true. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind presents a look into the fabricated double life of Chuck Barris.…

    Shutter Island: What's More Scary Than The Truth?

    Shutter Island, produced in 2010 and directed by Martin Scorsese, is a psychological thriller film that portrays psychological treatments in the 1950’s. Martin Scorsese’s alteration of the Dennis Lehane novel, Shutter Island, is in fact a horror movie, but it will not come across as your average present-day horror film. Typically directors take ghosts, monsters, vampires, or possessed people and develop a film to scare its viewers, and it more than likely always does. The average horror film filled with a group of “hills have eyes looking” creatures is always scary, but there’s a sense of comfort knowing that it’s just a movie. We thrive off of being scared and the idea of watching these movies knowing they…

    The Red Badge Of Courage Analysis

    Stephen Crane, author of The Red Badge of Courage, was born on November 1st 1871 and died on June 5th 1900. He was born into a progressive family, making him identify with the poor because he had rejected social and religious traditions. Like many writers, Crane was a contradiction because for someone who had big interest in war and violence he was a gentle man. No matter how good of writer Crane was he did not excel academically; however, he did excel in his literary career in journalism. Before The Red Badge of Courage, Crane wrote Maggie, A Girl of the Streets, which highlighted the realities of life for a poor women in the late 1890’s. Crane took a realistic approach like he did in The Red Badge of Courage.

    Master Of Suspense In Rear Window By Alfred Hitchcock

    The film I choose to watch and analyze for film techniques is Rear Window, Alfred Hitchcock, Paramount Pictures, 1954. Alfred Hitchcock was known as the “Master of Suspense” for his skills at directing psychological thrillers. How many directors today could make a great thriller like Rear Window work with a camera, lights, and a window? The fear was not projected up on the movie screen but within the minds of his audiences viewing it.…
