Common reasons are to prove that we are not afraid of the horror movies, to feel normal, and for fun. It is a human being’s mentality that fun comes from watching someone threatened and sometime dead. He said there is a potential lyncher in almost all of us. When a superhero kills villains, we don’t think about lynching, we just enjoy it. We watch movies for enjoyment and try not to compare them with real life.
For year's people have enjoyed watching horror films such as Saw, The Ring, Strangers, 1408 and others. Poeple have enjoyed seeing these movies for the thrill, suspense and those parts that make you jump. A horror movie makes you feel a intense feeling of shock, fear, or disgust. A part of us likes to get scared with the fact knowing that we are really safe. Today, hunreds of horror films have been made.
Movies are images of a certain character’s life; it depicts the character’s environment, the weather, and all the necessary ingredients that make up the movie that is being watched. There are many types of movies: comedy, drama, documentary, and sci-fi; but there is one type of genre of movie, that most people have the pleasure of watching. The scary movies; they are the best kind, they scare, yet the audience cannot turn away. Watching the movie Paranormal Activity 1, it really scared me. But the things that had grasped my attention were the actors, plot, scenes, sound, and cinematography.
Apocalypse Now (I apologize for the length, but this movie was absolutely amazing in how it made me appreciate something I previously hated, and I was truly moved to write in this length about it.) Unfortunately, upon watching Apocalypse Now, I was compelled to compare the movie to Heart of Darkness, a book that honestly I did not enjoy reading. However, I was pleased to see that Mr. Coppola merely took inspiration from the book, and in fact in a rather intelligent and powerful manner. I don’t like to call the movie “entertaining” given how uncomfortable it made me, but I did enjoy the movie regardless, and it was powerful enough to give me plenty to talk about. The movie contained a number of allusions to the book, such as a first-person narrator who is deeply affected by his experience (Marlow in Heart’s Africa and Willard in Now’s Vietnam) and a character named Kurtz who is worshipped like a god by the natives.
Unnecessary killing in Signs Signs is one of those movies when you finish watching it you say to yourself, “Wait a minute! No way I missed that!” This is the kind of reaction that has become the norm for M. Night Shyamalan when his viewers have just finished watching one of his films. Signs is no different in that it delivers a one, two punch to your mental state in the last few moments. But instead of an amazing twist or somewhat odd turn of events that leaves some dumbfounded at how it never occurred to them, this movie reveals its true nature as more of an epiphany. The ending is fantastic and it urges you to hit rewind once it is over just so you could see that one more time, however the underlying story is troubling.
To me, this movie deals with the problems with time travel. The best thing I like is when old Joe can feel and know what the younger Joe is about to do. This in my mind would give an advantage to the older Joe if they battle among each other. There were a couple of times where I noticed that the audience was really into the movie. For an example, when Cid (played by Pierce Gagnon) got shot by older Joe all the audience were at the edge of their seats saying in there head ``DON’T DO IT!!``.
You will definitely not regret watching this epic film because of the unique story line that has a way of capturing your heart. With a rating of PG-13, this movie is great for a mature audience to enjoy due to some violence and nudity; however, neither of those are gruesome nor inappropriate. This is a film that would be excellent for an audience that enjoys watching Westerns and love stories. This film has an 82% approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes which means there are many other people who are in agreeance with me that this movie is a must see. Dances with Wolves is not only a success in the fact that is it an excellent film to watch, but it was a widely successful and won many awards.
I agree with King that some people need to witness violent or socially unacceptable things happen in order to maintain their sanity, but I fear he has failed to recognize the fact that horror movies are but one of the several ways in which people do this. This primal, basic need to express ones true thoughts and opinions is achieved through a variety of ways, including music, painting, storytelling and writing. In his text, King claims that we watch horror movies because it provides some form of entertainment necessary to allow our emotions a free rein; emotions that we often cannot express publicly for fear of societal reprisal. King makes the claim that we have to allow the potential lyncher present in all humans the chance “to scream and roll around in the grass” (Paragraph 9). This expression releases the pent up anger and is a form of cleansing your mind and body of all your negative energy.
While many critics were upset at the “commercialization” of one of the greatest characters in the history of American cinema, an even more interesting change may be indicated through the character's acceptance in mainstream culture. Hannibal Lecter is a different type of cannibal monster than those previously seen in horror films, as shown through his motivations and criminal actions, and has been accepted by the audience as an “anti-hero” instead of the antagonist of the movie. Cannibalism has become a prevalent theme in horror movies since the 1960s. According to Robin Wood, “[t]he cannibalism motif functions in two ways. Occasionally, members of a family devour each other [ .
“This would be an excellent opportunity to utilize distortion - i.e. people screaming their heads off getting appropriately clipped on the camera microphone could add a lot to the emotion and feeling of the film. In addition to that, you might make good use of camera handling noise when they are running away from something or dropping the camera, etc. - much like a stinger or musical "boo" moment in conventional horror films.” (UTOPIA, 2011) When I started to mix I referred to a quotation from a BBC radio 4 documentary “We hear with our ears, but we listen with our minds” (TOOP, David, 2011) this idea allowed us to experiment with how we mixed the sound, so in post we keep the original audio but layer it with some
