Introduction 

Vivarium is a 2019 (Horror/Mystery/Sci-fi) movie. 

Impact 

Vivarium takes the viewer from a typical life situation, and encourages them into a world of insecurity. It uses mechanisms that resonate with people, reminiscent of daily life activities. It surprises and shocks, and features strained relationships, which worsen over time.

 Evil isn’t revealed too early, yet becomes more prominent towards the end. Sound is used well to portray character accurately, and viewer emotions. Characters are played well, with a consistently clear element of a committed relationship. Setting is shot well, highlighting key features. 

I would suggest a major element of the film is the dynamic between main characters, highlighting turmoil well, which is enhanced by the environment and effects. The setting wasn’t developed constantly however, leading to some moments which didn’t seem necessary for the film to flow. Tension whilst palpable in relation to the relationship, isn’t applied in a Horror sense which targets the viewer; I feel the viewer is placed as an outsider, rather than a member of the relationship. 

Summary 

Vivarium will keep you engaged if you enjoy slightly strange happenings, and relationship turmoil …

Closing statement 

Reaseaorg blog is working on its content to enhance viewer experience. Over the previous few years, we have been gaining momentum until recently, and are currently looking at ways to continue to improve user experience of our blog. 

We deeply thank all 49 of our followers, especially those who are still reading at this point in this article. You really do shape our content, and maintain our focus on producing content which appeals to our audience. Based on WordPress insights, we have learnt that certain types of product reviews are most popular, and our movie reviews are in need of the greatest modification to enhance viewing statistics. 

Please feel free to advertise related content in the comments below, but all I ask is that you please be respectful. I have had some comments in the previous few months, which have gone against the spirit of my blog. 

That is to be a friendly place for fans of Horror, movies, drinks, and adventures, and particularly those who are interested in writing or reading engaging content. 

It is not a place for those who posted links of an explicit nature, reducing visibility of helpful comments, providing insight for my future blog writing. 

I thank all of those who have liked my articles, but I won’t ask you to press like on any of my content, unless you do actually like it, as it helps me to gather further accurate information about the types of articles you, the reader, actually would like to see moving forward. 

Please comment below with ideas for future content, or any thoughts not covered by the points outlined above.

I will continue to post this statement on articles to come, to ensure optimal visibility for viewers. A big thank you to Neil Patel, for producing a helpful video on search engine optimisation (SEO), to assist my content popularity. I hope it helps anyone else who has content online to get their voice heard, be it through writing or video, or other creative forms of expression online.

Based on insights gained, I have increased my blog content article length, introduced a “food for thought” section to encourage creator-viewer engagement, introduced a “why you should read” tagline under each article title, added a closing statement which will be used on future articles for the same purpose of updating you on how the blog is progressing, and increased content from my critical eye, on what works well in the film, regardless of its genre.
