Clive Baker once said‚ “Horror fiction shows that the control that we believe we have is purely illusory and that every moment we teeter on chaos‚ and oblivion.” Horror type shows and books are one of my favorite genres. One of my favorite shows is Hannibal. The way they filmed and wrote Hannibal was truly breathtaking. Hannibal is about Dr. Hannibal Lector‚ who works as a psychiatrist. Hannibal is in fact‚ not the protagonist. He is a cannibal‚ who will take a body part or a few from his victims

“Zombieland” is a film where a lot of stylistic choices were made. Especially the opening scene says a lot about the film and the characters. Mise-en-scene‚ cinematography‚ editing and sound shape the film’s effect on the viewer. The film begins in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The first shot is unbalanced to prime our expectation that something will change position.

It’s influence and ability to captivate and terrify‚ not to mention the craft and simple but elegant
