Horror reserch 2

Jackson is a great horror film maker. He took the case of making “Lord of the Ring.” His film making background does not really fit this fantasy story. However, the result of this action was not bad. If we take “Lord of the ring” as a horror film it still is an outstanding horror film. In “Lord of the ring,” like the scene when Uruk-hai birth in a slum, and Gollum's skinny body, makes a great scene on horror. Man versus the monsters is a great issue in horror films, and it takes place in “Lord of the Ring.” Eating people has been a great horror part in Jackson’s film, and it took many scenes in the movie. For example, when Saruman said to the Orc “You will taste man flesh” (scene 40) and when the Orc captured the two hobbies and wanted to eat them, but a unfortunate Orc was their dinner.

I never thought of “Lord of the Ring” as a horror film, but now when I remember these scenes it does look like horror. However, I do not think it is a horror movie. The reason is because that horror movie is made as horror movies. It is made for frightening people. “Lord of the Ring” is a great film, and it is not to made for frightening people. It is made for a feature film. “Lord of the Ring” is not famous on these horror scenes, but for it’s story.
