Horror Thrillers
There are several similarities in the 3 horror-thriller films, Friday the 13th, The Woman in Black and Insidious: Chapter 2. In relevance to the characters the protagonist in all three of the movies are male characters, this gives us an idea of the institution's target audience. As well as both Insidious and Woman in Black include a young boy at around the age of 8-10 who both get hurt throughout the film. Friday the 13th include teenagers who also either get killed or are hurt, similar to the other two films. When looking at themes and moods, all three movies use similar colour schemes of dark blue and black to emphasize the tension and the horror in the films. In relation to setting both Friday the 13th and Woman in Black are set in the forest and the country side to show isolation which therefore conveys horror. The old house in Woman in Black is very dark, melancholic and far from picturesque, similar to the 'demon's' house in Insidious and the cabin in Friday 13th. All three movies use intense, loud and dramatic music throughout the film to show suspense and add to the drama, making the audience apprehensive and scared. All three movies use the themes of death and murder.
