How does the film break expectations?
- The Genre of this film is a thriller as certain features that would mean its a horror are not shown, such as blood, gore and other tortured related aspects.
The narrative is unusual as the actor of the film speaks to the camera occasionally to allow the audience to believe there a part of the crime/film. In a typical thriller film, the characters all have their own roles and the audience likes to believe the victim always escapes and then continues with their lives however in this film, all the characters die including the women, man and the child.
What he is trying to make the audience think about violence?
- From the clip we watched, we get the feeling that he is trying to create a different feel for violence. It is seemed to say that if you cant see the violence happening then its portrayed as okay as you don't share the emotions that the characters would have felt (such as the mother seeing her child being killed)
Do you think it is intentional shock?
- The way the story is told, you know that the strangers who enter the families house are intentionally going to cause a scene therefore the violence and bad behaviour is expected however audiences normally believe that the main character is going to escape and survive which challenges expectations.
