As a child Oren watched "The Exorcist"which traumatized him into not being able to watch anything that involved ghosts. This is one of the ideaoligies that could have influenced him into creating only horror films 'The thing I find really scary about ghosts and demons is that you don’t really know what they are or where they are.' This kind of mystery is his trademark in his films using the mysterious character that us as the audience are left to imagine what they look like.
His films are very conventional with some kind of evil characterisitic creature and unsuspecting victims who fall into the clutches of the 'villain'. I particularly like the idea that he starred less known actors as main characters as opposed to Quentin Tarantino who only used names who were already known in showbiz. By doing this he made it feel much more like a documentary rather than a fictional horror movie which added to the effect of the film and the intention of trying to impact and scare the audience. I feel that Oren Peli will be a big influence in our works as his films are made out to be like real life documentaries filmed by the characters in the film and that thought of it being real life really adds to the scare factor. In our film trailer one of our ideas is also to have it almost as though it were a documentary, that occurs in the characters lives so we will definitely be using him as our big influencer.
