- The Amityville 1977 (true story)The conjuring 2013Monster house 2006They’re all set in isolated places where not many people would comeBare trees, broken windowsLocations:So as you can see not much has changed in the horror genre, locations are still the same, they still use isolated and abandoned with broken windows and hidden pasts.
- So as you can see over many years not much has changed directors/producers still use the same weapon to threaten the protagonist or even the villain.
- All their eyes look similar, such as they have put in contact lenses to make their colour of their eyes look scary. In The first picture you can see that they have made her hands look all skinny and old so the protagonist. They have blood and scars on their faces. in the last picture you can also see that she is wearing a wig to make her hair look like a witch with rough red hair. They uses this to threaten the protagonist
- Nearly over 30 years facial gestures and body languages in the horror genre hasn’t changed. They still use the same body language and facial gestures, as they used to before.1.12-alien abduction 11.39- grizzly
- As you can see here they have used low-key lighting, to create a shadow of the villain to scare the protagonist with its long sharp nails. I could only find one picture but low-key lighting is normally used in most horror films. Low-key lighting is either used to create shadow, mood, or to set the tone of the scene, such as to scare the protagonist.
