Influences

Influences;
Some films that inspired us were Basic instinct, Fatal Attraction and Body Heat.
‘Basic instinct is a film which centers on police detective Nick Curran (Douglas), who is investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy former rock star. Beautiful, seductive and wealthy crime writer Catherine Tramell (Stone) could be involved; over the course of the investigation, Detective Curran becomes involved in an intense relationship with the mysterious woman — who turns out to be very dangerous.’


Fatal Attraction;
‘Fatal Attraction is a 1987 thriller film about a married man who has a weekend affair with a woman who refuses to allow it to end and who becomes obsessed with him. It stars Michael Douglas, Glenn Close and Anne Archer.’


Body Heat;

‘During a particularly intensive Florida heatwave, Ned Racine (William Hurt), an inept and rather sleazy lawyer, begins an affair with Matty (Kathleen Turner), wife of Edmund Walker (Richard Crenna), a wealthy businessman. Due to their affair, serious consequences follow.’



As you can see, we are using ideas from these films such as dominant women who become obsessed and violent with their partners. For example, if their partner says they are going to leave, the female will threaten to kill the man.
Our take on this is that Chloe cannot handle the fact that Cameron has cheated on her and she becomes violent and derranged wanting revenge.
