We aimed to make our film very simliar to other films of the same genre; horror with a high level of blood and gore, like Saw and Hostel. The whole idea of the protagonist waking up in a room somewhere in a strange environment and situation is itself symptomatic of the horror genre, creating fear and suspense.
A company like Lionsgate would be ideally suited to produce and distribute our film. They have made a series of many low to medium budget horror films as well as having a reputation for making quality independent productions such as The Cooler (2003). Lionsgate specialised in creating hits from low budget films; Saw is an example and has become a very popular franchise spawning many sequels. Our film is very similar to Saw and deals with similar issues, that include kidnapping, torture and murder. In Saw the antagonist "Jigsaw" chooses his victims because he believes they are unappreciative of the life they have so he attempts to make them appreicate their life more by focing them to go through painful and near-death experiences.
A big part of our film would be why the antagonist in our film chooses his specific victims, or maybe if the victims are not specific at all but are in fact random. Because the protagonist wakes up at the beginning not knowing why he is there, throughout the film he would try and find out why he is there.
Our film would appeal to teenagers, as the film features that age range, which would suit the other films made by Lionsgate, which also appeal to teenagers like My Bloody Valentine and Hostel.
