Monster movie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A monster movie is a movie that centers around the struggle of human beings against one or more monsters. As such it blends aspects of horror movies and fantasy movies. Prominent monster movies include Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, King Kong and Alien. The monster may be created by, and prey upon, the weakness of human beings, but sometimes bears more of a resemblance to the noble savage, reflecting a more romantic view of nature.

Many techniques are used in the cinematography of a monster movie, including focal depth, a sense of following or watching stalker vision, dramatic or shadowy lighting, and the jump scene.

Modern monster movies in the Western world have been heavily influenced by East Asian themes, beginning with the original Godzilla movie.
