Paranormal Activity : This film in particular focuses on the haunting the environments we feel most safe and therefore most comfortable in e.g. your own home. This allows the film to easily scare the audience making the overall experience more dramatic. They also use prolonged silences to add tention followed by a jump shot to freighten the audeince and in affect add more tension. The main story consists of a couple who have recently moved into a two story house. The female companion believes that a ghostly presence has followed her to her new house so she puts up camera's to see if she can find anything out. The movie then goes on to revealing super natural activity which most viewers find freightening.
Paranormal Activity also uses young stereotypical characters as they are more vulnerable combined with the super-natural presence of ghosts which adds to the tension.
Human Centipede : This film follows a cliche storyline with two typical helpless young girls, who get a puncture whilst driving through deserted woods. In need of help they walk through the forest alone where they stumble across a house. The man who lives there is insane and wants to create a human centipede out of the two girls and one other man. The film focuses of scaring the audience with the aspect of helplessness. The deserted setting emphasis this along with the two helpless girls.
