Being placed in the beginning, the cold opening utilizes clear camera work and dialogue in a very simple shot and earns it's marks. ]]> 2021-10-06 14:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1796680346 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1796700847 The thesis of Sleepaway Camp was unconnected to the main point of the story and adds little to what the film was trying to say. Having the twist be the killer was a boy the whole time does to truly represent the movie in a clear way. It is stapled on essentially does not respond to the prompt of why the killer is doing any of this. ]]> 2021-10-06 14:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1796700847 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798070508 Small details are uniformly set together throughout the story to give a clear understanding of a very vague movie. We see specific examples of seance, ritual, and paranormal encounters which all lend to as to build to the greater theme of heredity in the film. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798070508 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798082713 Like a 4, this movie does rely on small details to build its greater theme. However, its overall commentary fails to integrate itself with those smaller details and evidence. The Yuatja as a species is highly advanced and can be seen through the many interactions with people, but the commentary on cognitive capability does not fully work with the style of film it is. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798082713 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798091365 The usage of truly specific examples building on its commentary of Hell is lost due to its feelings of grandeur above helping the audience understand what the story is actually about. We see flashes of cosmic horror but we are often left with people simply talking about the horror. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798091365 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798101619 We are only given broad explanations and ideas about this lupine scourge in a town but are barely ever actually shown its real power. Its themes of fear run dry because the threat is never given any supporting evidence as to why it should be considered a threat. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798101619 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798112407 Simply due to the fact that Jason is barely ever actually in Manhattan speaks volumes to the evidence of Jason's ability to take it. We never are really afraid of him or rooting for him. This movie barely has a thesis and just puts a beloved character on a boat for most of the run time. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798112407 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798124208 By using complex ideas to build on its themes of loss and the supplication of that loss with unhealthy actions, its clear this movie understands what it is trying to say and successfully uses rhetorical devices like the idea of a bandwagon to show how easy it is for people to lose themselves. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798124208 1131686 https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798133403 There are really only generalizations on the themes of pain and enjoyment. We only see these Lovecraftian characters as a threat rather than something to be both enticed by and fearful of. They were given the 80's horror treatment as to be simply scary. There is no real nuance or argument being made by this movie besides to be scared. ]]> 2021-10-07 00:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1131686/75fni92lxdyisd2g/wish/1798133403
