  • Birds in the movie


  • Both villain dress up as ladies


  • Both leave it to their audience to use their imagination (blood imagery)


  • Killers aren't defeated


  • Domestic settings


  • Psychological problems


  • Multiple killings


  • Taxidermy


  • An attempt to embed story in reality


  • Editing (fast, quick shots to create horror)


Differences
