Media Institution

Dark Castle Entertainment

  • Formed in 1999 by Joel Roberts, Robert Zemeckis & Gilbert Alder
  • Specialise in Horror films
  • Pays homage to William Castle,  a horror director in 1950s and 1960s
  • Main aim was to remake his film










Dark Castle Entertainment
The production company whose main idea is to produce horror films. They would be  good to help distribute our film. Although our film does not far under the horror genre, I think that they would be a good company to use as they specialise in films that can come quite close to the horror genre. Specifically because our film is a Psychological Thriller. Our film is aiming for a low-bugdet and I think it would be good as they could be able to focus more on the story rather than the effects. However, the effects will be focused on mainly when the masked figures appear and in scenes where the audience start to see thew deterioration of Sarah's mental sate of mind. 




Twisted Pictures

  • Formed in 2002
  • Produce horror films
  • Gained critical acclaim through the Saw(franchise)





Twisted Pictures
This company again produce horror films. The most famous would be the Saw films. While most people would say that the films were horror based, I would argue that they can also be closely linked with the Psychological Thriller genre in the way that the characters have to figure out why they were put in the situations they wake up. Again, I think that this company would be good to use as they would be interested in they way that our film works and how it plays with the audiences' minds. Although they do produce high-budgeted films, I think that our film would interest them as they could possibly give us a bigger budget in where we would focus on effects a little more. However, I also feel that we do not need a big budget to attract well-known production and distribution companies.
