Inspiration
Maniac(2012) is an incredibly effective horror trailer, and one we plan on using as inspiration because of some of the similarities between the plot to our pitch. Maniac is a psychological slasher based around Frank, who stalks, murders, and scalps a woman one night, attaching her hair to a mannequin that he then keeps in his bedroom. This then develops as the film goes on. The reason he kills is because of the negative relationship he had with his Mother. This is similar to our plot as we also focus on a mentally unstable killer who murders women after being rejected when he was younger.
One of the reasons that this is such a effective trailer is because it made up of almost entirely point of view shots from the killers perspective. This is a rare feature from the trailer and forces the viewer to almost walk in the killers footsteps, resulting in a unnerving and disturbing experience.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer(2006) is a thriller, but is does however follow the story of a man who murders women in order to try and preserve their scent. The film features many scenes where the killer is stalking him victims and the films creates an incredibly eerie atmosphere which we will be looking to recreate.
