A pivotal text that has inspired our idea for the plot of our film is Ben Wheatley's psychological thriller, Kill List (2011). The part that inspired us is the plot of a cult controlling people and interrupting/ hindering elements of everyday lives. We chose this film because we were interested in the contextual links it held, such as the exploration of religious cults, yet in a modern day, contemporary setting. 
Furthermore, the distress and discomforting unpleasantness I felt while watching some of the scenes in this film otherwise inspired me to replicate a similar effect on our audience when they watched our thriller opening. Our personal aim is to simultaneously make the audience feel disturbed yet create a hooking opening to our thriller film so despite their discomfort they continue to watch the film. A specific detail from kill list we plan to use is the protagonists discovery of a cults symbol on their personal property, which triggers a climax and the realisation for the protagonist of what is happening. Furthermore, we have taken inspiration from the literal design itself. This post has been written By Mattie Goddard
