There are many existing horror films which involve a young girl being the scary character in the movie. Our own opening sequence also has a main character of a young girl similar to these films, For example, the character of the 9 year old girl Esther, in the film 'Orphan' released in 2009. her character is mysterious and haunting, like our own character Kayleigh, however Esther is slightly younger. Another film which holds a similar character to ours is 'Case 39', the little girl named Lillith, who appears innocent to the audience at first, however becomes a huge threat to her social worker. Her character is very haunting with a similar appearance to the the main character in our opening sequence. However, in case 39 the audience becomes gradually fearful of Lilliths character, due to her dark side being revealed later on in the film. Whereas our character Kayleigh is almost immediately shown to be the spooky character in our film.
A final and most obvious example of a similar existing character is the main character in the film 'The grudge', this is a 2004 american horror film. The girl in this movie is portrays the horror genre, however does not hold any dialogue, similar to our own character Kayleigh. Both characters are not actually living, but a haunting vision created in others minds. Their appearances are very similar- both wear a white robe and have long dark hair covering most of their facial features. They both look lifeless, due to the dark eye makeup and pale faces. They also have very similar roles in their films, they appear only to haunt others which play in the movie. However our character Kayleigh differs from the grudge as she is once shown as a real character, the daughter of Jason, whereas the grudge appears due to a supernatural curse.
