Task 1 - Aspects of teen horror

House of 1000 corpses


The forth film that I am looking at is called house of 1000 corpses. It was mad in in 2003 and was written and directed by rob zombie. To make this film just like the last films they had some well-known production names including universal pictures. The film was made in the USA and was mostly filmed at universal studios. The film also had quite a low budget of $7,000,000 but nearly met that with the opening weekend making $3,460,666 but finally made a profit when they premiered the film worldwide and made $16,829,545. Some of the reason I think why this film did so good was because of the actors in the film and also the director as rob is known for his gruesome horror messed up in the head type of gore and this is exactly what he brought to the film as not only is it intense and in the horror genre but it also get very confusing and just plain messed up right near the end, and for no reason. So this brought a new type of horror instead of slasher movies but instead well not even psychological it was more of the fact it was just plain gruesome.

when I look at my own work I think I could take some of robs ideas and use them in my movie and see what works and what doesn’t as right near the end he has disfigured monsters and character which really are disturbing but at the same time lots of people like that stuff so I could add in some disturbing scenes as well to create the ultimate horror movie. The age rating for this movie is and 18 and it fits it perfectly because of all the gore and all the things to get your head around. But also because of the characters and the audience which are both around 18 -30 and most of the characters were well known and around the same age as the audience this gives the effect that the audience are more involved with the movie and therefore closer to the characters . I think that I could use this understanding and put it to good use within my movie. Yet I could also use the fact that it is just plain weird and that for no reason they have weird creatures makes the film that bit scarier and this is what I could use to put my views on edge.
