The Uncanny

Inspired by the horror film genre and Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills," I wanted to most notably, focus on the

female lead character in the horror film genre. I wanted to create this connection between the films by allowing the same girl to play these iconic characters in the cinematic roles. Much like the film genre, we see very real similarities between the lead female characters through the decades of the genre, and I wanted to explore this idea with my concept.
