Question 7
This question is on 3 pages. The first three images are jointly
called by a derivation of the general name of image 4. 5 was
remade as 10 for the American-audience in 2008. 6 to 9 and
11 are the newer movies of the Austro-German director, 12. All
his movies are bleak and disturbing. In 5 and 10, two
youngsters ruin the happiness of a family by torturing them. 6
sounds like what you will get as an error message when you
type in gibberish in a programming language interface. 7
sounds like a Roman Polanski movie. 9 means a treasure or a
temporary storage space in computer terminology. 11 is a
symbol of violence against women, safe motherhood, and other
related causes. Identify 12 and name the rest.
