Film Ideas

Bath Scene
I have read a few books about dreams (Miller 1983) and if you dream of a warm bath, it signifies evil,that is why i wanted to incorporate a bath scene into my film. I wanted to also add an element of danger into my film, that of drowning the main character in evil.
A few of the horror films that i have looked at for my research have bath scenes too, Jacobs Ladder (1990), Awake (2007) and A nightmare on elm street (2010), This recurring theme throughout these horror films give them a feel of danger. 
Music
In your house- The Cure (1985)- I have decided to use this song for my horror film because i feel that it ties in with the theme of the devil playing with the main characters mind within my film, the lyrics 'i play at night, in your house' this is representing the devil or strange creature playing with the main character. Also it is at night- the character is trying to sleep.
Dream
The films that i have researched into for inspiration for my own film have also got a dream theme running through them, A nightmare on elm street (2010) is mainly based around a dream theme, as the main character Freddy Kruger visits them in their dreams.
Awake (2007) not an obvious dream theme running through it, but the character is in a state of 'sleep paralysis', due to the patient not responding to the anaesthetic.
