The document discusses how hoodies have become frightening villains in British cinema, preying on society's fears of urban youth. Hoodies are portrayed more negatively than previous youth subcultures due to their perceived lower class status and oppositional relationship with society. Films that feature hoodies as villains generate fear by depicting them as feral, dangerous packs roaming housing estates. However, films that attempt to humanize and understand individual hoodies through empathy are rarely horrors, showing there is love and humanity behind the threatening facade.
