++ for actually smashing through something with an axe. That's commitment for you.

"The Village"

Comment:
Works for me. I saw the trailer enough times to get a sense that this photo is in keeping with the film. I like most things about the shot, except for the strange ropey type thing to the bottom right, which looks messy.

Psycho

Comment:
Very recognisable. Good choice. Maybe a little more contrast between curtain and shadow would help here.

The Natural

Comment:
Yep, could be a scene from a baseball movie. The shot could be more flattering for the hitter, but good sense of action.

"Summer Rental" (1985 w/John Candy)

Comment:
I haven't seen it, so I'll go by the title and the IMDB description that this is a representation of one of the scenes. I like how the boats fade off into the distance.

The Shining

Comment:
Excellent recreation. This is the sort of thing that I would expect to see. Greaat use of DOF.

Picnic at Hanging Rock
by KHolt

Comment:
heh. An interesting interpretation, but with this challenge I was looking for a more literal re-creation of the film, which to me with this film would mean using older people, as it was about college students.

For the shot itself, nice light, interesting pose. Perhaps a little too tight around the girl as her head looks a little clipped. Personal bugbear that I don't like the "widescreen" borders.

Interesting. Danger factor ++, Good contrast.

Terminator

Comment:
Wow. Bonus points for bringing your own terminator back through time. I have a feeling that this might have worked better and been more atmospheric without the plastic-looking gun.

Napoleon Dynamite: Sweet Dance Moves

It's got the look of one of the characters I was able to find on IMDB, so meets the challenge. Not that engaging a photo, though.
