As with a few slasher films the opening starts of by saying these where real events. This may not be true but certainly makes everything seem a lot more scary. So it starts in a peaceful scenic setting with a mail man deliviering mail to a girls door. He goes through the mail which provides exposion on her name and age so we know shes a teenage girl. After this the titles play and you see Mari in the shower. So then her mum and her have an argument about her wearing reveiling clothing but she brushes it off and proceeds to go out with her friend. They go of into the woods and drink and talk. This is showing the moral code involved. However the atmosphere is still very peaceful and there is no signs of danger and you would even know its a slasher film if you had not known before. Also there is no clear final girl or scream queen so far, Mari and her friend both have brown hair and both appear to be breaking the 'moral code' in some way which isnt commom in slashers. The reason for this where it was made before Halloween which is where the main features of a slasher are set out. Also there isnt really a clear part where the opening finishes, However the titles play after only one minute and thirty seconds. Overall this film dosent seem to apply most modern slasher features.Thursday, 29 December 2011
