The document asks how these types of films should be interpreted and whether different audiences may have different emotional responses, including whether Nazi skinhead gangs could find gratification from watching the films.

Media evaluation question 1
The document discusses a 5 minute horror/thriller film that was produced. It included typical genre conventions like a dominant male, vulnerable female, dark lighting, isolation, and weapons.

Research of real films, particularly "Strangers," provided inspiration for the idea and conventions included.
