Blood Child
1)
Firstly, I really enjoy this story as a whole; it feels
refreshingly original and has an interesting gender reversal you don’t see to
often. Secondly, my skin was crawling
the entire time I was reading this. I get a real face-hugger vive and, we
especially discussed in class, a mental violation kind of takes place; the
character’s homes and bodies are invaded by this alien that talks and threatens
them into doing what it wants.

I kind of touched on this in my earlier response, I immediately
thought of every scene in the entire Alien franchise that had to do with the
face-huggers. Both the story and the Alien movies have themes of sexual
assault. What’s interesting is that the gender roles reversal.

I think this would make for a cool syfy horror film. It
would be very relevant politically to what’s happening currently and has a
unique take in that genre.
Of course that film would have to be lengthened to average
movie times. Other changes like maybe a slower introduction to the alien
instead of having it be there from the very beginning and showing the whole
alien should be held off to help build some suspense.
