Genre choice

I decided to do a parody of the horror genre as I have noticed that in recent years many horror movies have lost many elements of originality and rely on cheap jump scares with an overbearing level of suspense that usually fails to meet with the expectations of the audience, such as in the Paranormal activity series that use convoluted story points and mystery to overshadow the terrible writing and over reliance on suspense and jump scares to produce a movie that people will see as they know that they can rely on the mystery aspect to draw people in so they can make money.

These are the worst elements of modern horror movies though whilst the lack of special effects tend to make dated movies laughable, the creative effort seems much richer.

I decided to parody the convention of suspense as that is usually the more horrific element of today's movies over any villain or monster, by having the stereotypical defenceless woman as the one who fights back in a ridiculous manner to show how over hyped the villains are usually, though I wanted the casual aspects to reflect how modern audiences are becoming resilient to similar tactics in horror movies, which is why I intend to have a casual character who is unaffected by the overused tropes of horror.
