Concept of Slasher

Our film is a thriller-horror film but the sub genre of horror the production comes under is "Slasher". The conventions which our opening follows from a "Slasher" is:

• The killer uses a knife to stab 'n' slash to kill their victims.
• Isolation is also a main theme as the majority of victims become lost in a chase scene.
• We also named the killer "Psycho" as a dedication to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, which is often credited with creating an early basis for the slasher genre. The way in which a mentally disturbed killer, disguised as they stalk their prey, sneaks up on female victim in a vulnerable moment and literally slashes them to death.

We also reflected on modern reality for inspiration, such as the knife crime which is in mass media circulation at the moment, especially in London.
