2. Horror movies: Task two - Explain


Most of the horror movies were made after the movie “Psycho”as some scene were really similar to "Scream" as they used the knife, falling down the stairs, revealing the killer at the end, and a lot more other little details that you see are in these two movies.

This convention was used by the killer to kill the victims and it is really not a nice why to get liked because it HURTS. It just puts the movie together because a knife just scares you as a person. The idea we as a Media Studies class got that it is a phallic meaning and the idea behind the knife's meaning is funny but kind of true if you think of it. It doesn't really reveal a big attitude to the director just that he knows how to make you SCARED. "Weinstein explained that although he agreed with their assessment that the film was "intense", the film also had comedic elements and satire; it was not just a horror film glorifying violence. The MPAA reviewed their decision; shortly thereafter the film was granted an R rating." The audience loved this movie because it gives you a real scary and the way the CONVENTION was used good as the weapon that killed all the victims, and the film makers think it was to the audience's expectations as the made other movies after that Scream 1, 2, 3 and 4 and they made some remake's of Psycho too.

These two horror movies PSYCHO and SCREAM was and still is a classical horror!
