Representation of women
Stereotyping is very common in horror movies, for example, in most scary films, female characters are portrayed as the "damsel in distress" and usually get killed as a result of their actions. In our film, when the main character is run over and is sent into a coma, the man in her dream is punishing her in order to get her to work with her friends after they have had an argument.
Also, there are common portrayals of a "dumb blonde" character who, most of the time is the first one to die or is the main character. An example of this is in the film "Scream".
Although Drew Barrymore is a very famous actress, she unexpectedly chose to play the dumb blonde character in this film.
Due to the characters actions, she is killed within the first 5 minutes of the films. For example, she continues to have a conversation with the killer and reveals details about herself, only becoming suspicious of him when he tells her that he can see her.
