Fear itself documentary notes

Fear Itself notes
·       Horror movies give you right the amount of light to make you realise how dark it really is and the right amount of sound to show how silent it is.
·       Fear strikes you so fast that it does not give you time to make sense of what’s happening
·        Blood signals disaster. The vivid red stands out. It can symbolise healing but fear still remain.
·        “every inch of the ground, is an inch away from safety”
·        Your body is always looking for something to be fearful off.
·        When we indulge the things that scare us, we aren’t the victims of fear, we are co-conspirators.
·        You allow yourself to be influenced by horror in the parts you decide to watch.
·        People assume the monster is always the bad person whereas sometimes it’s the humans. We expect better from the humans.
·        Humans are desperate to be scared without realising this, they go to theme parks to feel the fear of a roller coaster.
·        The aspect of uncertainty not being found in your fear is scary for a person.
·        If we deny the story that makes sense of what scares us, we tell our own story.
·        When fear goes beyond your nerve and gets inside your head, nothing else really matters. It blocks out everything else you feel.
·        Sometimes you want the subject of the film, to feel the same urge as you like running or hiding.
·        You push fear from your mind, making everything seem still.
·        There is no such thing as a clear break with fear.
·        Turning away from the things that scare you gives them more power.
·        The real horror is the person behind the screen who is creating the movie meaning horror is never too far away. All the people we share the world with could be sinister.
·        Maybe it is ordinary people we should be scared off.
·        You ignore fear as you don’t believe any type of horror will happen to you until it happens to you.

·        Horror movies are built to take advantage of humans.
