Film Analysis

I think that this is a great example of a horror/thriller theme opening. It straight away makes the ordinary house look creepy and you can already start to get a sense of something bad happening. When the girls are talking it seems like a normal night but as soon as one of them tells the story of the video, we are automatically drawn into the film's main plot. We can already assume that the video will have a reoccurence later on and the fact that she says people have died, we are left wanting to know what will happen.
Also, the fact that it is two ordinary girls we realise that it is happening in everyday life which makes it a more realistic situation.
