Dead silence
I am looking at a film called dead silence, it was made in 2007 and was directed by James wan. The people who created the film were Leigh Whannell (screenplay) and James Wan (story). To create this film they had help by quite a few production companies, yet again these were quite famous just like scream, these were universal pictures, twisted pictures etc. throughout the process of making this film they created different parts in different locations these were places such as Ontario and Canada. For the film the crew had a budget whi9ch was $20,000,000 and straight away within opening weekend they made $7,842,725 just in USA, but finally when they premiered it worldwide they made $22,217,407 so a profit of over $2,000,000 which was good. The reason why this film did so good was because it was just like the old puppet horror movies but newer, more up to date and more psychological than any other puppet horror film. Some of the reason why they did so good again just like scream is because they used well-known actors in the film and also how the portrayed the film to bring the audience in more such as advertisements , posters , books which all built up to the film.
Just like I said before this will give me an idea of what to include and what not to include making a good horror movie. It will show me what people like to watch if it is in fact about a puppet or if it is actually just the pure horror of a woman back from the dead and her soul seeking revenge. The age range for this film was a 15 and I think that it was a sort of right age rating because of the slightly less killing in it, it was rather a mystery and thriller but the bad thing is that when I watched it the characters didn’t really relate to me as they were adults in their 20-30s therefore there was a sense of distance between the movie audience and the characters. So this is what I would have to keep into consideration when creating my movie. Another thing that I think I could consider which I think worked well but also was very disturbing and psychological which gave the film more mystery was the fact of the puppets/ ventriloquist dolls and the dark story behind them, this I could use in my film because it would give the audience a sense of why something has happened to know how gruesome it was.
