We chose Hannah for our victim as she is a young girl who is home alone. She has the typical blonde hair so she is vulnerable and this creates tension within the audience. She is love struck with Ricky the boyfriend, and this shows that she is most likely going to get killed so it creates tension and builds the atmosphere within the scene. We felt that Kathryn Newton was best suited for Hannah. We felt this because she is a young, blonde actress who plays the leading role in a horror film. JT
Alex Tatham
We chose Alex to be the killer as he has a sinister face and this is very scary. Alex is a paranormal demon who is haunting the house. This is very scary as people are afraid of the paranormal horror as shown in our research. We felt that Alex was most similar to the actor Nicholas King due to his role as the 'Boogie man' in Sinister. Alex looks very similar to the face of both the actor of the boogie man and the boogie man itself when he has his make up on. JT
Ricky Griffiths
Ricky is the useless boyfriend in the opening sequence and he gets killed first as he goes into the garage to get drinks. As soon as Ricky comes into the scene he asks for the drinks which shows that he will be getting killed as he is under age drinking. Ricky is a rather nice character but not very manly so it shows that he is weak and will get killed in the sequence. We also used a male as the first to go as Jankovitch claimed that men are useless in horrors so this is shown through this. We felt that Ricky was a similar actor to that of Matt Shively as he plays the female victims boyfriend whilst also playing a major role in the film but dying. This is very similar to our film and we also felt they looked rather similar. JT
