Which Company?

To make our opening convincing we have decided to include the credits of a production company, as we are making a horror with psychological aspects we decided to research into appropriate companies for our genre of films. After some light research on a few genres we decided to look at two in particular; New Line Cinema and Twisted Pictures

New Line Cinema is an American company producing a wide range of genres, from comedy, romance and horror; it has produced some famous films over the last twenty years, some of the most famous ones it has produced in the horror genre are:

A Nightmare on Elm Street
Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III
Freddy vs. Jason
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Final Destination 3
The Number 23

We liked the fact that new line not only produced a variety of genres of films but also showed diversity within its genre

Twisted Pictures is also an american company but only works within the horror genre, it is responsible for the SAW franchise, a franchise that has been prominetent within horror over the last ten years creating:

Saw
Saw II
Saw III
Saw IV
Saw V

Although this franchise is so big, it seems to be the companies main focus, with little other large scale projects coming from it, therefore as a group we feel it is more appropriate to use the New Line Cinema as our company

  1. Add on to Twisted Pictures, ..as from our research, the 'SAW'franchise consists of extreme gore and blood, something that even if we tried to do, would be extremely hard to pull off, this makes 'Twisted Pictures' seem like a much more graphic type of horror genre. making us even more unanamous in New Line Cinema, which has dealt with gore but also has produced films with in-depth senses like "The Number 23"
