Vash hooks the wire around Rachael's neck. Stacey stands up and pushes hiom out of the way. Rachael stands up, runs across the room and tries to get out. Stacey looks at Vash who then grabs her and throws her into some banisters on the stairs. Vash looms over Stacey, James runs down the stairs and jumps on Vash's back.

James

(Mutters in Vash's ear) Not yet!

James punches Vash who runs off.

Film Certification by James and Stacey

Our film will be an 18 certificate. It will be an 18 because the weapon that we first use is easy to get hold of. Throughout the film there will be lots of bloody violence, bad language and some references, when the characters are insane, to suicide.

The Horror Genre by James and Stacey

• Intended to scare its viewers.
• Early horror films were largely based on books such as Frankenstein and Dracula
• More recent horror films are based around the insecurities of life.
• Horror films tend to enjoy cult followings rather than massive mainstream success.
• They are often dismissed as B-movies rather than blockbuster films.
