I chose this film because it exemplifies what audiences in the 80s were looking for in a horror film. Its main hook is its use of special effects. Excessive blood and gore appeal to audiences demand for body horror. The small cast and isolated space make it very conventional of the early 80s.
The Thing (1982)
I chose this film, again because of its use of excessive blood and gore. It’s sci-fi element allowed bizarre scenarios such as 'body snatching' and aliens to be believable due to research carried out by scientists characters.
Child's Play (1988)
I chose this film because its slasher style is very relevant to 80s horror. The antagonist is a doll which could link to the fear of children which was prevalent throughout 70s horror. This shows how horror has developed over time.
