Film InfluencesFirstly, I had taken the ‘possessive’ element from the film Exorcist.I had secondly taken the ‘gore’ from the film unfriended (only a small amount) bloody foot prints - for exampleThirdly, I had taken the ‘mysterious haunted house’ from the awakeningFourthly, I had taken the jump-scares and creepy music from Insidious 3. And lastly had taken the ‘vulnerable girl - victim’ (protagonist) from scream.
