In most films, girls are stereotyped into the weak, helpless category and often it takes a strong male to protect them but in horror movies, these roles are sometimes almost reversed. In 'Tormented', although it's not the best made film ever, gender is represented in different ways. Most of the time, the males are represented as the dominant characters as they are the violent ones and try to show their authority as well as sometimes protecting the female. However, although Justine (the main female) ended up getting arrested, she seemed to be the dominant character throughout a lot of the movie. In 'Hostel' there are not really many female rules within the movie however most of the male roles require the character to be scared as they all get tormented (see left.) In Hostel II the victims are female and the film ends with the typical 'final girl'. We are planning on using the 'final girl' concept in our film as the lead character is female and she needs to battle the demons in her mind in order to survive.
