Once we had decided that we wanted to create a horror film, we had to choose what sub-genre of horror we wanted to persue. The idea of creating a psychological horror mixed with a slasher horror appealed to us and so therefore chose to do this sub-genre.
We wanted to create a film around the idea of criminology and criminals and thought that the idea of a realistic or true crime would scare the audience more.
We researched true crimes from the present day and the past, and from this research we created this list of crimes of which we thought we could turn into a film of our own:
- Ian Brady and Myra Hindley
- Soham murders (Ian Huntley)
- Jack The Ripper
- Dr Harold Shipman
After research into each of these crimes, we thought that Jack The Ripper would be the best of these crimes to create an extension story from.Although Jack The Ripper had not committed the most murders, unlike Luis Garavito in 1999, who confessed to raping and killing 147 young boys and thought to have murdered almost 400 people. However, the way in which he killed his victims in the dark streets of London and carefully removing particular body parts and the victims were only female prostitutes, makes Jack The Ripper go down in history.
