    My overall thoughts on this movie were I found the death scenes to be brutal, fun, and one of a kind definetly more then intense then the original. At the same time a little more comedic, which took away most elements of fear for me. I was totally digging the death scenes, with how clever each one was. Most parts I had my eyes covered, which is another thing that gets me into a good horror film. Black Christmas had intese scenes of stalking as well giving it fresh unbelieveable views that somebody is watching under a bathroom tile.

    Having the house living it its own way alongside the other characters gives it the feeling that it has its own mind and can do whatever it pleases. While both the film and novel create these haunted houses, the characterization of them is alarmingly different. In Poltergeist, the house is just another cookie cutter suburban house. It was recently built, looks like every other house on the block, and at first glance has nothing scary about it. Hill House on the other hand is immediately described as unsettling and worn down.

    Molly’s laid back outfit of a white tank top and overalls outline her kind personality and how she does not need much to live a happy life. The spacious loft where Molly can do her pottery and carve wooden sculptures depicted her skill as a creative artist. The loft was surrounded by brick wall which was actually missing some brick, and it really made the scene look like present day New York City. In the scene where we get to see subway ghost slow down time was incredible. The actors made choppy movement to express that their movement were being manipulated.

    While the novel “The Haunting of Hill House” by Shirley Jackson and the film “Sunset Boulevard” directed by Billy Wilder both feature isolated, haunted mansions that drive the protagonists insane, they differ in that Eleanor becomes possessed by the house and Norma is possessed by her fame, which is important because it shows the different ways of how an isolated environment can lead lead characters into madness. The main setting of both the novel and film take place in a large, isolated mansion. In “The Haunting of Hill House,” the characters visit a gothic castle that is hidden away from everyday reality. The overall atmosphere of the house seems to be grand, a place that could possibly be from a “book of fairytales” (Jackson pg. 37).

    In additional, the unexpected and twisted ending of the movie makes more sense to their viewers. Even after completing the movie, the viewers' will still be imagining about it. "The Sixth Sense is one of the few genre films that truly discuss what horror really is, by filtering it through the experience of a frightened small child. Indirectly, it is also discussing misdirection, an all-important part of an illusionist's craft, in the form of the "magic trick" of hiding the plot twist. So the qualities of M. Night Shyamalan's signature film are evident.

  • The Moonlight Scene Analysis

    After viewing Moonlight, which was personally my favorite film of the year, I choose to analyze the scene when Blue takes Chiron to the ocean and teaches him to swim (17:20-19:30). This scene first drew my attention because of Blue’s character. The dynamic of a crack dealer with a heart-of-gold has this duality about it where my heart tells me to love him as a person, but my head tells me that this person is Chiron’s mother’s dealer, and I should despise him for it. Yet, when I watch this scene I can’t help but think of how much I love Blue as a character. He is able to fill in for the role of a father figure, and teach Chiron about life.

    None of these reflections would be visible in daylight. I feel in the darkest night but still a little of the light from the little café on the corner and a little of person. The inspiration of this artwork is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh 's "sinister Night Café which was showing at a gallery in New York in January 1942. The similarity in lighting and themes makes this possible; it is certainly unlikely that Hopper would have failed to see the exhibition, and as Levin notes, the painting had twice been exhibited in the company of Hopper 's own works.

  • The Blair Witch Project Analysis

    Even from the beginning, this film both sets itself apart with the first-person “found footage” style, while at the same time, also has the chance to be not very different at all. Personally, I believe the movie certainly achieved the former statement; setting itself apart in a number of different ways. While taking from budget-cutting idea of Eduardo Sánchez’s The Blair Witch Project, using a camera carried by a character– in this case the protagonist– it also steers away from the horror genre that this technique has mostly catered to, and instead it introduces a hyperrealistic science-fiction and super-power origin storyline for three main characters. Since you’re immersed in their story from the beginning, with the hand-held camera bought,
