How young girls are now being used as killers in horror movies...

Many screenwriters tend to be writing scripts about young innocent girls being the main cause of problem in horror/thriller movies. After exploring many movies that use this idea, I thought using a girl in our group thriller would be a great idea to use, here are a few examples that use little girls as the rivals in their movies:


The movie Ju-on: The Grudge deals with a mysterious and vengeful spirit that marks and pursues anybody who dares enter the house in which it resides. As you can see, the images above represent a girl who is obviously the dangerous spirit in the movie. The girl above is shown to have bright green eyes, straight dark black hair that covers her face, a pale white face and is wearing a white dress. The pale white face and the white dress may represent that she is a spirit, however white also connotes purity and innocence in which she is clearly not. 











As innocent as Esther may look, she certainly knows how to manipulate people. In the movie Orphan, a husband and wife adopt a 9 year old girl, who isn't as angelic as she appears to be. What I liked about Esther's role, is that she acts and dresses like any other ordinary child but really isn't. If the audience didn't know that this movie is a psychological thriller then I doubt that no one would suspect Esther's real motives and that she is in fact a devilish little girl.










The children is a movie about a family who are on their Christmas vacation which turns into a disaster as their children are infected by a deadly virus, once they are infected they begin turning on their parents and violently try to kill them all. After watching this movie, little Leah is the child that scares me the most; unlike the rest of the demented children Leah actually uses her child attributes to her advantage by crying out "Where's Mommy" in a sorrowful voice when she is about to be killed.
