Films Similar to Ours Number 3--- Carrie



Carrie is American author Stephen King's first published novel, released in 1974. It revolves around the eponymous Carrie, a shy high-school girl, who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who tease her. King has commented that he finds the work to be "raw" and "with a surprising power to hurt and horrify." It is one of the most frequently banned books in United States schools.Much of the book is written in an epistolary structure, through newspaper clippings, magazine articles, letters, and excerpts from books.
Several adaptations of Carrie have been released, including a 1976 feature film, a 1988 Broadway musical, a 1999 feature film sequel, and a 2002 television movie.

Although originally a book Carrie was later turned into a film and shares many similarities to are story. Firstly she is bullied at school becasue she is different to everyone else similar to our film. and she gets revenge on those who bullied her like in our film. Of all the things that are similar to ours this one shres the closest likeness i believe.

Films Similar to Ours Number 2--- Halloween




Halloween is a 1978 American independent horror film directed, produced, and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with Debra Hill, and starring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut and the first installment in the Halloween franchise. The film is set in the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois. On Halloween 1963, six year old Michael Myers murders his older sister by stabbing her with a kitchen knife. Fifteen years later, he escapes from a psychiatric hospital, returns home, and stalks teenager Laurie Strode and her friends. Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis suspects Michael's intentions, and follows him to Haddonfield to try to prevent him from killing.

Thsi film is similar to ours for two reasons firstly once again the killer is a child, well for the first part anyway, but more importantly the main character disappers for an extended amount of time over which the rage builds up and eventually he kills. This is simialr to the plan of our story as you can see from our plot that he disappears and over time the rage builds inside him.

Films Similar to Ours Number 1--- The Omen





The Omen is a 1976 American suspense horror film directed by Richard Donner. The film stars Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Harvey Stephens, Billie Whitelaw, Patrick Troughton, Martin Benson and Leo McKern. It is the first film in The Omen series and was scripted by David Seltzer, who also wrote the novel.

An American ambassador learns to his horror that his son is actually the literal Antichrist.

The main reason that this film could have inspired ours is that the main character in this film is a child and that is the angle that we are going for in our film. It is unusual that this is the case as as normally in horror films it is adults that are the main characters. Our film title also cam from this film as our film is called Damien and that is considered the devils name becasue of this film.
