There are many elements that people expect to see in such films. These things may include a surprise ending, different camera angles, and of course, violence. After watching such movies, a person may begin to feel a chill down their spine or goose bumps on their arms. Yet, time and time again, audiences spend money to watch these movies, paying little regard to the effects the film can cause. After watching a horror movie, people can feel anxiety, suffer from paranoia, experience sleeplessness, and establish phobias throughout their life.
Why Do People Love Horror Movies? For years people have been scared senseless by horror movies, yet we continue to watch them. Horror movies are extremely popular throughout society today. But what is it about a good scary movie that makes us decide to go to the movies and see the new “Friday the 13th” movie and not “When Harry Met Sally?” Maybe it’s the rather eventful way a horror movie portrays the night life, or the feeling you get in your chest when you clearly know someone is about to die, or even the raw sex appeal a horror movie depicts to both men and women. The night life portrayed in a horror movie is definitely more lively than that of the life many of us live every day.
Horror films are made to give people a thrill seeking feeling by its mental act. These movies are mostly unreal but others are true stories based on someone’s real life. What kind of feeling people have from watching a scary movie may differ. According to the article “Horror movies: Why people love them” by Leslie Fink, one of the reasons we watch so many scary movies is because of the thrill it gives us and how it brings the primal behavior to assess threat levels. Just because someone has a strong desire to watch horror films doesn’t mean they are complete freaks because many just love the adrenaline rush that these types of movies give off.
I prefer the horror movies that have the good plot and understanding script. In my opinion, I think people crave for horror movie because it’s not something that we see everyday, it’s something that we don’t know and never experienced it before. It kind of give me more perspective of life. In the other hand, sometimes when I watched the horror movie, I promise to myself that I wouldn’t watch this kind of movie again because it gives me nightmare and give me the kind of fear that I don’t want. But when the next horror movie comes out, I go watching it.
Horrors and Heroes Entertainment, in any form, often has a deeper meaning than initially assumed. For instance, one might assume that an action movie would be a typical “guy movie.” Nobody would be surprised to see fights, cars, and explosions in an action movie, in fact, it would be expected. However, if the storyline of such a movie was about love, the viewer would be caught off guard. This twist is what makes any great movie entertaining; it keeps the viewer interested and wanting to see more. Two authors that discuss this method of giving deeper meanings to stories are Stephen King (in his essay “My Creature from the Black Lagoon) and Gloria Steinem (in her essay “Wonder Woman”).
Crash The movie crash does a very good job exposing how common stereotyping people really is. Many people are affected by this every day. I really hope this movie helped people realize how much they affect people by what they say or how they act towards people just based off of stereotypes. Stereotyping is defined in our book as exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system. Stereotypes may be based on a kernel of truth, but they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis.
And that’s why film form can shape an audience’s experience. The movies audiences always have certain expectations on the film that they are going to see. These expectations usually affected by the film form techniques which had used since film form is capable of delivering messages to the audiences. When a scene use a close-up shot, it can isolate and emphasize specific details. Also, different camera angles and moving camera impart help the film to express and act in a particular way.
I don’t know, maybe I am (or was) just uptight. However, I did like movies such as, “The Shining” and “Poltergeist”. They scared me because of the super-natural aspects involved. They were good ghost stories and I do like that. No crazed individual was causing all of the chaos.
How I decide what movies to watch is by a variety of factors. One of the first things I do is to read the description of the movie in order to see what it might contain that would make it appealing to me as a viewer. A movie that doesn't fit a certain criteria in terms of what I like to watch now has to catch my attention through other strengths or avenues of interest. This initial analysis comes from the description alone. I then like to look at the list of actors in order to determine whether or not it has any of my favorites.
But long ago violent games were invented based on violent movies so if someone says it causes aggression then some movies in the world cause aggression too. Violent video games also improve your memory due to finding attacks that work best and you try harder to remember them. They also help you with map work coordinates, self positioning, knowing your surroundings and remembering that you have been in this certain place before. So I think people have their own opinions but I think I have proved a few good points and the violent games were created by people who were aggressive from the start. Everyone deals with stress and frustrations differently.
