Todorovs Theory
Tzvetan Todorov simplified the idea of narrative theory whilst allowing a more complex interpretation of films with his theory of Equilibrium and Disequilibrium. The theory: The fictional environment begins with a state of equilibrium (everything is peaceful as it should be) It then experiences some disruption (disequilibrium) A new equilibrium is produced at the end of the narrative
Insidious
Todorovs theory can be applied to the horror film Insidious, using the 5 basic steps. PLOT: 1. Boy falls off ladder in attic- goes into coma 2. Paranormal activity in house- bloody handprint and attack by mysterious man. 3. Demon draws boys soul into The Further horrific world 4. Father uses his paranormal activity to enter world and save his son 5. Father returns and strangles old woman- becoming the demon
