The document discusses two horror films, The Ring (2002) and The Grudge (2004), that influenced the author's decision to do a horror film. The Ring featured an antagonist with a pale, dark-haired look and small stature, which inspired the author's antagonist. Both films generated suspense and tension, which is what the author wanted to achieve. The Grudge also featured a scary little girl, like in The Ring, popping up unexpectedly on victims. This influenced the author's idea of including a scary girl unexpectedly appearing.
2. The Ring (2002)
The Ring is a 2002 American psychological
horror film directed by Gore Verbinski, starring
Naomi Watts, Daveigh Chase, and Martin
Henderson. It is a remake of the 1998 Japanese
horror film Ringu.
Plot: A young journalist must investigate a
mysterious videotape which seems to cause the
death of anyone in a week of viewing it.
3. Influences from the Ring
The Ring influenced our decision to do a horror,
as the antagonist in the film, had the stereotypical
look of how we wanted our antagonist to look
(dark hair, pale and black hollow eye sockets), she
was also small which is also where we got our
idea from to use a small person for our character.
We also felt that the film had lots of suspension
and tense moments, which is what we wanted in
our film, and wanted our audience to feel that.
4. The Grudge (2004)
The Grudge is a 2004 American supernatural horror
film, and is the first instalment in the American
horror film series of the same name. It is a remake
of the Japanese film Ju-on: The Grudge.
Plot: An American nurse living and working in
Tokyo is exposed to a mysterious supernatural
curse, one that locks a person in a powerful rage
before claiming their life and spreading to another
victim.
5. Influences from ‘The Grudge’
The grudge also has a scary little girl like ‘The
Ring’. And there are many jumpy scenes in the
grudge, that's where we got the influence of
the scary girl popping up unexpectedly on the
victim .(Aaliyah)
