Prompt: Write a substantive paragraph in response to one or more of the following. Feel free to combine questions.
How is the film evocative of horror in terms of standard generic traits, including: iconography, settings, story patterns, character types, and themes?
How does your film address any of these traits:
In what ways is the film dystopian, and less commonly, utopian?
How is advanced technology idealized?
How does the film compare humans with machines/technology?
How does the film address the posthuman, blurring the lines between machines and humans? Do these questions inspire existential angst?
How does the film pose the “what if” question? What are the film’s answers?
Is there an element of the uncanny?
Relevant for many, but not all films: how is it cyberpunk?
Would you characterize the film as speculative or extrapolative? Why?
