Magnetism of horror genre in movies
Horror movies give
prevue of culture and strange events that people are aware of it. This genre
fascinates majority of watchers and they are thrilled from watching such
movies. The intent of the horror genre is to create sensation, trepidation
among the viewers.
Horror films fascinate
watchers because the strange events are nicely displayed in these films. Audiences
are more inclined to the blizzard happening, ghastly portrayal instead of just
hackneyed love stories in which audience can anticipate what will happen next. Simply
horror genre is loved by people due suspense and uncertainty in characters and events
of the movie.
For example, J-
horror movies have worldwide fans. Even, Hollywood directors picked up the
concepts from J-horror theme and produced blockbuster horror films. The major
difference observed is the intricacy of presentation of horror in movies.
American horror movie producers focus on to explain self so that people know
the causes of some evil creature actions. For example, popular horror film Ringu, directed by Hideo Nakata, was
the first magnetism of American film producers who recreated The Ring in1998,
which was produced with different name, The Ring Two in 2005.
The main feature of
J-horror movies in selection of feminine character to create horrific scenes.
Females are considered as key figure in the script of J-horror movies. They are
always portrayed as the ghost itself and frighten viewers in striking way. It
has been observed that majority of film makers from different countries like
India, US are interested in female ghost because conventionally females stayed
in home and submissive towards her husband and elders. Their frustration,
anger, and resentment are shown in horror movies to convey sufferings of
females in general. In a lively example of film, The
Grudge, director has mentioned the significance of female character in
J-horror. According to director of film,
women remained under supremacy of male basically by their husbands and they
carried excessive rage and frustration since long time. He showed in film deep
rancour and stubbornness of female to make public know the sorrow of women.
Presently film makers
around the globe portray ghosts as an erratic. This was the brainchild of
Japanese horror film makers to signify strange nature of ghost.
Normally, horror
Films contain psychological trance and awe-inspiring tension, particularly
involving ghosts and the themes of folk belief. Therefore movies with horror
genre get international success.
In horror movies,
film producers espouse common ghost characters such as monsters, with King
Kong, a living animal which massacres human and shatters the region by the
dominant physical force, wicked spirits which badly affect the possessed body
to death, for example the spirit in Exotics, dead body incarnating in human
form. Dracula in Vampires series, or serial killers such as Jason in Friday the
13th are popular and hugely watched by viewers all over the world.
In Indian cinema, filmmakers
like Ram Gopal Varma, Mahesh Bhatt and Priyadarshan produce horror in Indian
movies. The genre is still at an embryonic stage. Mostly, Indian horror films
have been motivated from Hollywood movies. Indian film makers usually focus on the
supernatural as a popular theme. Film Mahal
was the oldest movies of horror genre.
Many Indian films
which gained popularity with revived theme were Bhoot’, ‘Krishna Cottage’,
‘Naina’, ‘Darna Mana Hai’, ‘Darna Zaroori Hai’, ‘Click’, ‘Raaz 2 etc. Since
India is the host of manifold culture therefore numerous regional horror films
were produced and admired by viewers.
Finally we can land
on conclusion that horror theme embraces novel but weird concepts that people
love to watch it as beyond their imagination and they want to explore the
supernatural psyche of characters and correlate with their past. It is widely
accepted that horror movie with new and ground-breaking story and blended with
technological advancement will gain huge audience attention and producers may
