Killers 2

In Surveillance (2008) the start of this film is really effective; there is no talking and the music is quiet. The credits are interspersed with what looks like flashing images, but is actually the light of a torch shining on things. You then see a woman lying in bed and then a flash onto a VERY scary face – is it the killer wearing a mask?

This is a scary killer, completely the opposite to normal looking ones like in Mr Brookes and Sleeping With the Enemy. This shocks the audience, but I think it doesn’t remain with the audience, whereas a more normal looking killer is much more frightening and effective within a story. The plot can twist and turn with a killer who looks and behaves like a regular person.
