Modern technology has left the horror filmmakers stuck with the use of mobile phones and created one of the most angry film tropics I have ever met. Think about how many protagonists could be spared if they had a functional GPS, 911 on a speed dial or even on the “Deep Focus” list on Spotify that they could use to control their breathing when using the ear on the sneak so not grasp yourself hide in the closet. This relatively new TROPE TROPE horror film captures its ugly head in some way, in shape or form, often at the expense of narration, because the use of a mobile phone must be solved or there would be no conflict if the filmmakers ignored the elephant in their room.
Mobile phone ditch
After watching Conference and Mouse trapI have noticed a model in modern horror movies that I can no longer ignore, a trope involving characters recognizing the existence of mobile phones, and their willingness to give them out to be defenseless when things begin to warm up.
Both films have identical exchanges to solve the trop of mobile phone horror movie, but they treat them quite differently.
Conferencewhich is set during the retreat of teams related to the rural place, solves the problem somewhat elegant. Before building a raft and zip lining, the group leader asks each participant to put his mobile phones in a safe box, which makes the horror TROPE believable in this context. I am willing to suspend some distrust because I was on stupid business trips like this, and no one wants to drop their iPhone into the lake and pay your ass for a replacement.
The same exact trop is processed Mouse trap In a way that makes me like a spectator, I feel as if the characters quickly shoes in a quick exchange to address the tropics of a mobile phone just to move things as if they said, “Hey, apparently we live in fiction of Sasher phones in the bag and lock them so it is completely inaccessible before we all get murdered”
While both of the above films fall into the horror comedy genre and should not be taken too seriously, they use the same trope with a mobile phone with very different results; The former stock exchange is believable, while the other feels like a braid that leads me out of the movie.
It’s your fault you got to death, you stupid idiot!
One of the most satisfying (and more terrifying) horror deaths in which I have ever seen BackcountryWhen Alex (Jeff Roop) processes the TROPE mobile phone one of the most idiotic ways. He is afraid that his girlfriend, only (Missy Peregry), will spend too much time answers to questions related to work in hiking in the deep wilderness, where she plans to design her favorite children’s lake (of course without map), Alex secretly catches He leaves his cell phone and leaves it in a parked car before returning to the forest, where bears attacks are a legitimate danger that should not be taken easily. Alex warning, Alex is not out there he thinks he is, and he will tear his face.
Backcountry It processes the trop of horror film TROPE in a credible way, but the film is also undermined because every terrible thing that happens in the forest is 100 % of Alex’s mistake, which made me shout, “Now he won’t take you!” I realized that would not be in danger if Alex did not dig up a cell phone.
While Alex had good intentions and just wanted to have a perfect romantic escape with his girlfriend, he finally torn into pieces and left his girlfriend without a mobile phone lost in the forest without access to help. If she only brought her cell phone with her and said, “Hey, we don’t have any bars,” I wouldn’t have to think that Alex’s death was the result of lifting his own firecracker.
Let antagonists make a heavy lifting
Straight edge Kegger They had the right idea when domestic attackers used a signal shining to disrupt the service of each mobile phone in a circuit, which no one will escape. Each character at a home party with a mobile phone encounters the same problem at the same time and Brad (Cory Kays) confirms with a quick series of dialog that the attackers stuck the signal. The TROP mobile phone of the horror film is quickly approached without knocking out the viewer from the film, Bloodath starts and Bing, Bang, boom, many people die.
Fear, including. It also makes a great job that works using a mobile phone into its horror land without being a nodded on Trop, but rather integrating technology into narration to increase its tension. After hiring a title company that changes its life into an allegedly simulated nightmare Slasher (for fun), Joe calls his mobile phone 911, did not know that his device was programmed to redirect his challenge to fear, Inc, which Invisibly deliberately deliberately reveal your place of stay to the people who are trying to kill him.
Classic and period pieces may not deal with this
One of the reasons I am attracted to horror films that have been set up in early auightes at the end of 90 years, or earlier, is that the trop of mobile phone is not a problem. When the ground lines were still ubiquitous, everything that needs to be done was to reduce strength and boom, no phones. It was so smooth that you didn’t even have to think about it.
Is there a serial killer or killers, for free? When talking via a wrapped sock, they are going to balance calls from the phone phone, and if they move fast enough, there is no way to track them. You can imagine if Laurie Strode Jamie Lee Curtis has a direct way to contact Dr. Samuel James Loomise (Donald Pleazence) in Halloween? The film would end before it started.
Fortunately, the tropics of the horror movie mobile phones were not unfortunate on the day.
This is true … The power is cut, Mom and Dad are not at home and the masked murderer goes through every room in your house. It’s not a mobile phone in sight. Only people living at the moment.
