Characters and Actors


Emily played by Hollie Bowden
Emily is a strong, independent character. She is a bit of a tomboy and is not afraid to take risks or act on impulses. One of the commonly used conventions of horror movies is that the most innocent character always lives. We wanted our movie to be a bit more modern so none of the characters are stereotypically innocent. But Emily is very loyal to her friends and is often portrayed as the voice of reason. These kind of qualities work as reasons why she is the only one that survives at the end. We chose Hollie Bowden to play the role for many different reasons. Firstly she has short hair which is often connected with rebellious, tomboy type girls. Hollie is so very good at acting tough parts.




Jacob played by Joey Jarossi
Jacob is a commonly used character in many horror films. He's a character who was often afraid and wary about doing anything that could be potentially dangerous. The character is smart and articulate. In our film the twist is that he is also the killer. He's not the one the audience would suspect because he is normally too frightened to do anything violent nature. I will play the part of Jacob because I'm very good at pronouncing my words correctly. I also had the typical look of the smart character. I also have previous acting training.




Morgan played by Kyle Lo Monaco

Morgan is also a typical character commonly found in horror movies. Often referred to as the jock. He is good-looking, popular, athletic and is often going out with a pretty girl. We have arranged for Kyle Lo Monaco to play the role because he has all of these qualities. The character of the jock is never very smart and often dies at the end of the film. Our film is no exception. Also Kyle is ethnic meaning we can reach out to a wider target audience and the film will not come across as discriminatory.









Vanessa played by Jessica Stevenson
Vanessa is also a typical character that appears regularly in horror movies. The pretty, popular girl. This kind of character will often go out with the jock. This is a convention that we have used our film. She is also not very bright and ends up being killed when she wanders off in only her underwear. Jessica was the perfect person to play this part because she is a very experienced actress and is also very pretty and image concerned.
