Psycho, Sixth Sense and The Woman in Black are three psychological thrillers that have been very successful. The gross income for these films ranged from $50 million to over $600 million. Other films of the same genre have almost always made a profit of over $30 million. This bodes well for our film because it would almost ensure a good profit for the film, meaning that a film studio would be more likely to invest in such a film.
The basis for all these films is intrigue, mystery and the heartstopping moments of fright. This is what I want to replicate in this film. However I am changing the simple basic idea from being scared due to what is being seen and changing it to what is not seen.
I want to go back to the old days of horror films, such as ‘The Birds’ and the rest of the old Hitchcock Films. The idea that there is something that you are keeping from the audience. I put this ‘something’ in a box, and made this box mysterious and unknown, and that the audience will only see what is in the box at the end of the film.
