Wheeler Winston Dixon
Wheeler Winston Dixon is an American filmmaker and scholar. He is an expert on film history, theory and criticism.
He has a book called the 'history of horror' he is the top reviewer of films. His theory includes the idea that victims are the 'site of activity' this means that they are nothing more than just a character, we are not told who they are or anything about them, they are just the first person to be killed in a horror to make things exciting for the viewers. For example, in the film scream it starts off with a random girl being killed who we know nothing about. |
