Sigmund Freud ‘uncanny’:
Sigmund Freud published his theory of ‘The uncanny’, in 1919,
which was originally called ‘Das Unheimliche’. The adjective ‘uncanny’, means
being unfamiliar to something we are familiar with. This is used to make the text more frightening, even when the audience is aware of the objects' purpose.
Sadistic voyeurism:
When someone takes pleasure from watching someone go through
pain and suffering.
For example, some audience would watch horror/thriller/gore genre film to seek pleasure and thrill, in the trailer of 'Quarantine' it shows the disruption of equilibrium, where the characters fight for their survival as each characters are murdered slowly building up tension. Such unfortunate scene can be consumed by the the audience in a positive way by making them feel enjoyment or satisfaction.
