Abstract
THE CONCEPT OF FEAR AND REFLECTION TO CINEMA
Cinema reflects the emotions of people, the social, political and economic conditions of the period in which they live since the day it was in existence. For this reason, the notion of fear, which is inherent in human nature, has found its place in the cinema with varying variance and has attracted attention in all world cinemas. In the beginning of the horror films, films such as Frankestein, Dracula, and other items influenced by Gothic literary art, such as monsters, were made, but the fact that horrible source could be "man itself" over time made the films such as Texas Massacre, Psycho, Saw. Supernatural powers, or human beings themselves are presented as images of fear, the underlying reason is the fear of the human death and death after death, and the work of defining the unknown field to defeat this fear is the starting point of the fear cinema.With horror films, costumes and make-up, with the characters created, fear of creating the space, sound added to the cinema, and effects created with the development of technology, they uncovered the subconscious fears of the audience and added their innovations. Horror cinema has also been shaped by the local beliefs of the societies, and every country has produced films based on their beliefs. Films such as the Ringu series, which were shot in Japan under the influence of traditional vengeful spirituality, in Turkey, films such as the Büyü and Dabbe series shot with the influence of Islam are examples of this definition.
