Task 1 - Aspects of teen horror


The unborn

The final film that I am looking at is called the unborn it was created in 2009 and was written and directed by David s. Goyer. As this was a new film out and they had a good budget they were able to get well known production companies such as rouge pictures and phantom four. The budget for this movie was $16,000,000 and within the opening weekend they made over the original budget making $19,810, 585 but worldwide made a massive $42,638,165. The reason I think it made this much was because of the whole movie itself, it had a good storyline, horror included. A thriller because you don’t know why , a scary strange boy who is disturbing / disturbed, really all the things you need to make a good horror film.

From this film there is a child who acts very strange and talks about the baby talking to him, he acts disturbing and to some people, frightening. This makes part of the movie scary because even though through some of the movie you can’t see what the child is talking about “the unborn” you can still sense that it’s there from the little boy. This is good way to portray horror because people say that children can sense danger and sometimes people say children see ghosts and because the only other person is a woman in the movie with the child she begins to think something is wrong and fears for her life. This brings a message to us all and makes us wonder if children can sense danger and see ghosts etc. also this film is good as it shows possession and how it is portrayed is very clever. Also using the special effects can make the film even better, this is one idea that I could take to use because it I can see that people like this sort of thing and also the sense of ghosts in horror are very popular and are a good type of horror to go into when creating a movie because the truth is no one knows if ghosts exist and this makes us think that it could happen making us feel uncomfortable and frightened.  The film is a 15 and I think is a good range because it shown character of all ages from a little child to a 20 year old woman in it and its these age differences that have a big impact on the story and how scary the film will be so this I could take into consideration using teens and also maybe little children to give it a spooky eerie sort of scene.
