  • Found-Footage Horror and the Frame's Undoing
    Found-Footage Horror and the Frame’s Undoing by CECILIA SAYAD Abstract: This article fi nds in the found-footage horror cycle an alternative way of under- standing the relationship between horror fi lms and reality, which is usually discussed in terms of allegory. I propose the investigation of framing, considered both fi guratively (framing the fi lm as documentary) and stylistically (the framing in handheld cameras and in static long takes), as a device that playfully destabilizes the separation between the fi lm and the surrounding world. The article’s main case study is the Paranormal Activity franchise, but examples are drawn from a variety of fi lms. urprised by her boyfriend’s excitement about the strange phenomena registered with his HDV camera, Katie (Katie Featherston), the protagonist of Paranormal Activity (Oren Peli, 2007), asks, “Are you not scared?” “It’s a little bizarre,” he replies. “But we’re having it documented, it’s going to be fi ne, OK?” S This reassuring statement implies that the fi lm image may normalize the events that make up the fabric of Paranormal Activity. It is as if by recording the slamming doors, fl oating sheets, and passing shadows that take place while they sleep, Micah and Katie could tame the demon that follows the female lead wherever she goes. Indeed, the fi lm repeatedly shows us the two characters trying to make sense of the images they capture, watching them on a computer screen and using technology that translates the recorded sounds they cannot hear into waves they can visualize.

  • Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction
    Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction Peter Turner, Oxford Brookes University The cinematic image of a young woman staring into the camera – crying, hyperventilating, and talking directly to her audience – has become the definitive image of The Blair Witch Project (Myrick and Sanchez, 1999). It is arguably the most famous scene, and certainly the most parodied image of found footage horror cinema in general, perhaps even one of the defining images of cinema in the 1990s. This character, Heather Donahue, is played by a hitherto unknown actress called Heather Donahue, in her feature debut. From what we see on screen, and the manner in which her monologue is delivered, it can be inferred that she is not reciting scripted lines. She does not seem to be acting; her fear appears genuine. Heather is alone in a dark tent, shooting this footage herself with a handheld camera. The shot did not look like most other horror films that had been previously shown in cinemas; it is poorly framed, poorly lit, and the character knows and acknowledges that she is on camera. There had been previous films in this style: Cannibal Holocaust (Deodato, 1980) contains the use of ‘found footage’ within its narrative structure, and Man Bites Dog (Belvaux, Bonzel and Poelvoorde, 1992) is a mock-documentary that purports to be completely filmed by a diegetic film crew. However, neither of these films had the cultural impact or box office success of The Blair Witch Project, a film that eventually spawned numerous imitators, and arguably the entire found footage horror sub- genre that now consists of hundreds of films.1 There is a straightforward economic reason why filmmakers continue to produce found footage horror films.

  • The Glitch Dimension: Paranormal Activity and the Technologies of Vision Steven Shaviro
    CHAPTER 18 The Glitch Dimension: Paranormal Activity and the Technologies of Vision Steven Shaviro Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (Gregory Plotkin, 2015) is a recent low-budget exploitation film that distorts and destroys its own images. Though such a practice is better known in gallery art, it is also found at the opposite end of the aesthetic and economic spectrum, in a crassly commer- cial venture like Ghost Dimension, whose mission to turn a quick profit is not mitigated by the aesthetic concerns of gallery art, nor even by mainstream Hollywood concerns with cultural prestige. I cannot discuss Ghost Dimension, however, without considering the whole series of which it is a part. The six Paranormal Activity movies (2007–15) are works of what Caetlin Benson-Allott calls ‘faux footage horror’.1 That is to say, they consist entirely of (fictional) found footage: video sequences osten- sibly shot by the protagonists themselves, and discovered and compiled after their deaths. The characters, settings and plots of these movies are entirely generic. Though some attempt is made to provide an overarching backstory for the series, there is no real narrative progression from one instalment to the next. Each movie follows the same predictable pattern. Strange events take place: odd noises are heard at night, and objects shift around inexplicably. At first, the disruption is fairly vague and low-key: things just don’t seem entirely right. But the incidents escalate both in frequency and intensity. The residents try to get to the bottom of whatever is going on, by recording the life of the household on video.

  • T Run up the Stairs!’: Why Removing the Paramount Decrees Would Be Bad for Hollywood
    ‘DON’T RUN UP THE STAIRS!’: WHY REMOVING THE PARAMOUNT DECREES WOULD BE BAD FOR HOLLYWOOD TYLER RIEMENSCHNEIDER* I. INTRODUCTION Have you ever watched a really great scary movie? A tingle runs down your spine and you feel your muscles tense up as you watch the monster slowly close in on the film’s protagonists. You can feel a sense of dread building up within you; try as they might, the camp counselors, the newly-moved family, the babysitting high schooler, are all helpless. Sure, maybe they’ve made some dumbfounding mistakes (“Don’t run up the stairs!”), but do they deserve the fate they’re sure to meet? In many ways, modern Hollywood feels like a scary movie. Long gone are the days where the major film studios used anticompetitive tactics to bend the rest of the industry to their will. That era was brought to an end via the Paramount Decrees, a series of consent decrees and court opinions in the 1940s and 1950s which used antitrust law to break up the studios’ control and allowed other groups to gain a foothold in the industry.1 Instead, the studios are playing the roles of horror-movie victims, desperately trying to escape the clutches of the Silicon Valley boogeyman. Not only are streaming services like Netflix and Amazon providing consumers with a cheaper, more * Juris Doctor Candidate, 2020, The Ohio State University Michael E.

  • Catfish Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmforum.com Catfish Discussion Guide Director: Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman Year: 2010 Time: 87 min You might know this director from: Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) NY Export: Opus Jazz (2010) FILM SUMMARY From the inception of public internet usage in the early 1990s to the birth of Facebook in 2004, the presence and increasing noise of social media continues to increase in our lives. CATFISH offers a bare-bones analysis of how electronic communication devices and channels, such as Facebook, allow us to create myths about ourselves, invent alternate identities, and even lead us on the rollercoaster of a false love affair. In CATFISH, Yaniv “Nev” Schulman receives an email from an 8-year old, small-town Michigan girl named Abby who wanted to paint some of Nev’s photographs. This seemingly innocent email is the first thread in a twisted web of lies and deceit. The email comes from the suppressed, emotionally downfallen Angela, mother of Abby and stepmother of two severely handicapped sons. Angela feels she has sacrificed so much of her life and that the days of being an artistic, free-thinking woman who is worthy of love have passed her by. At her lowest point, Angela grasps for a pinprick of hope, and there she finds Facebook, with Nev at the other end, ready, willing and equally hungry for the emotional bond that Angela offers. Through a network of fake identities and connections, Angela creates Megan, “a real friendship that I was looking for,” Nev admits once the truth is revealed.

  • The Contemporary American Horror Film Remake, 2003-2013
    RE-ANIMATED: THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN HORROR FILM REMAKE, 2003-2013 Thesis submitted by Laura Mee In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2014 Abstract This doctoral thesis is a study of American horror remakes produced in the years 2003-2013, and it represents a significant academic intervention into an understanding of the horror remaking trend. It addresses the remaking process as one of adaptation, examines the remakes as texts in their own right, and situates them within key cultural, industry and reception contexts. It also shows how remakes have contributed to the horror genre’s evolution over the last decade, despite their frequent denigration by critics and scholars. Chapter One introduces the topic, and sets out the context, scope and approach of the work. Chapter Two reviews the key literature which informs this study, considering studies in adaptation, remaking, horror remakes specifically, and the genre more broadly. Chapter Three explores broad theoretical questions surrounding the remake’s position in a wider culture of cinematic recycling and repetition, and issues of fidelity and taxonomy. Chapter Four examines the ‘reboots’ of one key production company, exploring how changes are made across versions even as promotion relies on nostalgic connections with the originals. Chapter Five discusses a diverse range of slasher film remakes to show how they represent variety and contribute to genre development. Chapter Six considers socio-political themes in 1970s horror films and their contemporary post-9/11 remakes, and Chapter Seven focuses on gender representation and recent genre trends in the rape-revenge remake.

Beard Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2012 Title: Horror Begins at Home: Family Trauma in Paranormal Reality TV This dissertation argues that paranormal reality television is a form of what some have referred to as “trauma television,” a site of struggle between meanings of family and the violence often found in the hegemonic nuclear family ideal. Programs such as A Haunting and Paranormal State articulate family violence and trauma through a paranormal presence in the heteronormative family home, working to make strange and unfamiliar the domestic and familial milieus in which their episodes take place.
