Horror is an ancient art form. We have tried to terrify each other with tales which trigger the less logical parts of our imaginations for as long as we've told stories. From the ballads of the ancient world to modern urban myths, audiences willingly offer themselves up to sadistic storytellers to be scared witless, and they are happy to pay for the privilege. do we derive basic thrills from triggering the rush of adrenalin which fear brings, or do horror stories serve a wider moral purpose?
Horror movies have long served both purposes. They deliver thrills by the hearseload, as well as telling us stories of the dark, forbidden side of life. The best way to study and appreciate horror films is, of course, to watch them. However, it is also important to have some sense of a film's context. this is one of our main reasons for why we chose to shoot this particular film.
After days of talking about which genre we were all satisfied with, myself and my group came up with a finalised decision; which was infact, we wanted to base our movie on a TRUE story, with a horrific genre. Only about a month before this decision making, a friend of ours shared personal scenario that took place in her house. As it happens, she experienced a nightmare which came true the very next day.
