Page 14 The Informer Oct. 8, 2018 Opinion Buchholz at the Box Office Director Corin Hard releases a new horror film in time for Halloween In “The Nun,” director Corin Hard takes us back to a 1950’s monastery in Romania. The Vatican, Grace Buchholz Reporter suspicious of a once holy abbey, sends a Romanian priest and a soon to be Nun to investigate a death in the church. Upon arrival they realize the grounds are anything but holy. Working together they try to vanish an evil spirit back to where it came from. With a $22 million budget and a 96 minute run time, this so called horror film is mostly full of jump scares and suspenseful music. Advertised as the horror film of the year, the film only got a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes and 5.8 out of ten stars on IMDb. “When I first saw the trailer for the nun I thought that it was going to be super scary,” senior Anna Thelen said. “When I went to see it though, it ended up being a pretty mediocre movie with only a few jump scares.” With creaky floors and foggy hallways, “The Nun,” follows just about every horror story cliche there is. With suspense as characters turn corners and open doors, this prequel to “The Conjuring” series loses the meaning of horror. This prequel does not exactly fit clearly with the other movies in “The Conjuring” series, that scored four out of five stars on IMDb. In the “Annabelle” story, which is a spin off of the first “The Conjuring,” movie, the audience is introduced to a doll. The doll becomes haunted when the nun that looks after it spends time in a monastery where the Valvak, the evil spirit, resides. As of “The Conjuring 2,” the Valvak is seemingly vanished. The writers should eventually decide if they are including or excluding the demon, enough of the back and forth. “It had really good jump scares, but the plot didn’t really tie into the Conjuring series,” senior Mckenna Follen said. Horror requires planned anticipation and built up suspense to be successful. In this film that is hard to do when everything is thrown at the audience. Rather than an audience screaming they do more of sighing. The effort is appreciated, but the overall product was less than great. Comic by Chloeana Merchant c Comic by Morgan Velderman O M I C S.

The Conjuring 2: the Enfield Poltergeist Megan Asri Humaira, Rasmitadila, Achmad Samsudin
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 08, AUGUST 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 Participant Types In Translation In Subtitle Film "The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist Megan Asri Humaira, Rasmitadila, Achmad Samsudin Abstract— Translation of participants realized in nouns greatly influences the integrity of the meaning that the source language wants to convey. In fact, with differences in language rules, the meaning of translation in the target language can be very different from the meaning in the source language. This can lead to a misunderstanding of a series of events. The purpose of this study was to find out in depth about the types of participants in translating participants from English to Indonesian on the subtitle of the film "The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist". This study uses a systemic functional linguistics approach with content analysis method. The results of this study were dominated by the participant range with a total of 41 elements of nouns (23.4%), and actor participants with a total of 29 elements of nouns (16.6%). Both types of participants were included in the material process which shows that the clauses contained in this movie subtitle show that the texts are a description of every process that is being carried out or is happening. Translation of participants in subtitles takes into account the use of language contained in each clause so that the delivery of messages from the source language (SL) is delivered based on the grammar or content of the message into the target language (TL) with due regard to the suitability of the grammar applicable in TL.

Horror films aim to bring the audience to deep fear. Therefore, these out of our complacency in the quotidian world, by way of negative emotions such as horror, fear, suspense, terror, and disgust, that are represented in films.

This research is the result of an exploration into the literary reviews of the contemporary horror genre and a semiotic analysis a paranormal, Lorraine. This research concerned with the presence of material bodies in the performing sign and code of binary opposition by using signified and signifier theory.

Un ejemplo es la presencia de los universos cinematográficos expandidos, que han transfor- mado en materia comunicacional y creativa los procesos de recepción fílmica. Dentro de lo fantástico, el cine de terror tiene relevancia al presentar una narrativa transmedia vi- gente y paradigmática: el universo cinematográfico de The Conjuring, que propone una serie de estrategias basadas en la cultura participativa y el conocimiento colectivo que potencian la experiencia transmediática. El artículo trata de detallar las estrategias trans- mediáticas de dicho universo que replantean la manera en la que se consume e interac- túa con la producción fílmica, posibilitando nuevas experiencias de participación e inter- pretación dentro del cine de terror desde diversos lenguajes, medios y soportes. PALABRAS CLAVE: cine de terror, cultura participativa, conocimiento colectivo, narrativas transmedia, universo cinematográfico. TRANSMEDIA ACTIONS PROPOSED FROM THE CINEMATOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE OF THE CONJURING ABSTRACT Currently, transmedia narratives disrupt the way in which audio-visual content is in- terpreted, enabling new forms of interaction and consumption. An example is the 63 Santiago Martín López Delacruz presence of expanded cinematographic universes, which have transformed the pro- cesses of film reception into communicational and creative matter.
