In the slasher genre and in horror films altogether there are a lot of stereotypes that are found throughout most of the movies. Some of them I respect, but there are a couple things that I would like to change and do differently in my film.
1. Femal Antagonist: I would like my villan to be female and that is probably one of the biggest deviations I want to make in my film. Typically the villan is a strong male that usually has a mask to cover his face. I would like to include the mask, but I will make sure to make it obvious to the audience that the antagonist is a female,
2. Invincible Villan: In most films the villan cannot be killed because of supernatural powers he has attained. I do not like this for several reasons, including the fact that this makes the situation less believeable. I want my movie to be a visual interpretation of your worst nightmare, not some fantasy.
3. Making it believable: In so many of the films I have seen, it just seems to unbelievable. The baddies are way to over powered and the situations they are placed in are so impossible to recreate, they don't even feel real.
4. Dumb Victims: Finally I am so tired of the dumb victims. These teenagers have half a brain in these movies which always leads to there demise. This will not be the case in my movie.
These are the different things that I am planning to do different in my movie.
