Walking down an old moldy hallway with distressed stairs screaming with every step‚ there is a dimly lit doorway leading to a hunched withered old man aggressively working on a grey‚ decomposing body. This is what horror films have drilled into our heads of what a mortician is; when in reality a Mortician is not just an embalmer with the stigma of death that shadows them around. Morticians have a wide variety of undertakings; they supervise the preparations of the burial‚ arrange funerals and services

Horror films have always been more attractive to the male viewer than to the female viewer. Why is that? Usually horror films mainly present the audience with very graphic mutilation and the raping of females‚ more so than their male counterparts. Horror films have always depicted females as either objects or as the victim of a horrible act. In Linda William’s essay "When the Woman Looks‚" she says that "there is not that much difference between an object of desire and an object of horror as far

“Timecrimes”‚ a science fiction film about a man who finds himself stuck in a time loop only to realize that he is constantly running from himself. “Timecrimes” was directed and written by Nacho Vigalondo who also starred it in. It is thanks to his character for creating the start of the time loop‚ though we never find out why the loop started originally.

fantastic portrait of the best dozen years of American film and the insane circumstances that created them. The reading included many features in one‚ cultural anthropology‚ film criticism‚ and gossip. This book is an excellent account of the film industry revolution during the 60’s and 70’s. It focuses more on the directors and not the actors‚ which is good because most of the decent directors of that time were completely out of their minds. The films made by the featured directors were so rich with the

class began‚ I went Borders book store to pick up another film by Akira Kurosawa. I like foreign films allot‚ but my favourite film genres are horror and hopeless romance‚ neither which I have ever associated with German culture. While browsing the titles at Borders‚ I came across a film titled “Der Himmel über Berlin”. Upon further examination the jacket revealed that this movie was the inspiration for the American made “City of Angels” film. So‚ seeing how inexpensive it was‚ and how much it had

don’t have to worry about dead laughs because people will laugh because there are so jokes put out that even if they don’t laugh at everyone‚ there are plenty to where at some point they will. It is completely parody and it is over horror‚ this tops a lot of the other horror parodies in my opinion. The people who made this movie did a great job of making sure that all of the lighting‚ sound‚ dressing‚ makeup‚ special effects‚ and camera work did very well. There was always enough light and never too

He thought this would a film I would like since he feels it’s an interesting take on the tradition zombie film.
