Researching Horror Films

The Horror films that I am interested in are the types of films that are more physcological and not obviously scary. I think the key to a successful horror film is suspense, I need to come up with an idea of a frightening event that could happen right in the middle of what may seem a mild horror movie. The murderer or physco will feature in the woods, located at Blaise Castle Estate and will be dressed as a normal person. The characters face will never be shown in the shots to maintain tension and to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. I want the main character to be female as according to research females are more vulnerable at night. I plan to shoot this film at around 4pm/5pm on an evening, so that it is not too dark but not in broad daylight. I have looked at the film 'Orphan', the tag line being 'A husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be' this film is a good film to look at as it adops a physcological approach to horror.

Another film I looked at is 'Hide and Seek' which is very similar to 'Orphan'
