Justification for your ideas –
Follows a conventional storyline; the murderer is a male and he’s mentally unstable, also the victim is
a young ‘damsel in distress’ character. The storyline also follows ‘The Last Woman Standing’ as Amy
survives in the end of the film and manages to escape The Protagonist. The murderer has mental
health issues and is shut off from the real world, he’s very isolated from his surroundings and lives
alone, and this is common in horror films.
