An Analysis of the X-files Episode 'Tooms'
I think that the x-files have been so successful because they mix three genres together, sci-fi, horror and detective. These three genres always go really well together because they appeal to a really wide audience.
In this essay I will be looking at several key points from the x-files episode 'Tooms'. I will start with the prologue; the film starts with the camera following a man dressed smartly down a crowded street. They use a high cameras angle to make the man look vulnerable. The camera then switches to a dark drain hole where out of the gloom appears two eyes. The eyes are yellow and have an unnatural look about them. Now the camera is looking from the perspective of the monster or creature, there is now colour now on the screen and the camera follows the man that was on earlier in the film. There is a thumping sound like a heartbeat and incidental music now builds up suspense. The scene now goes inside an office where the man works. As he walks near to some lifts the music builds up and up and suddenly the doors spring open but it is a false alarm. These sorts of things keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
