My group and I have been discussing in class and texting in a groupchat on what we want to work on. We have discussed working on a horror almost like a slasher, or a psychological thriller. Both interest us the most but we are still considering which one would be best for us.
Slasher films are a subgenre of horror that involve a masked or otherwise hidden killer who stalks and murders a series of victims, often in graphic and violent ways. Commonly, many slasher films also include a cast of young adults or teenagers who are punished for transgressions against social norms, particularly those related to sex and morality. The setting is usually a place that is isolated or confined, such as a summer camp, a suburban neighborhood, or deserted building, adding to feelings of vulnerability. Violence in slasher films is usually explicit, meant to shock and terrify the audience. some example include nightmare on elm street, and Friday the 13th.
Psychological thrillers rely on less gore and violence to create suspense and tension through the evaluation of the character's mind and motivations.Most of the time, these movies have mind games, manipulations, deception, and other elements that include unreliable narrators, which hold the audience in their thoughts, guessing over what really is going on and what character is reliable. Suspense builds up through psychological means, moving into the internal struggles and hidden agendas of the characters. Twists and turns are kinds of signatures from the genre:many plot developments that could hardly be foreseen, shocking denouements questioning the view from the onlooker. Some examples are midsommar and hereditary.
