RESEARCH UPDATE

The three films used for this research are:

The Shining 

Village Of The Damned

Insidious

Through my research I intend discover the main ways in which children are represented in these three films and why they have been used in such a way.

TERROR and everyday life  (book) Jonathan Lake Crane

The 'Evil Child' in Literature, Film and Popular Culture (book) Karen J Renner
