Reminiscence - Props


  • Dolls - The killer plays with these in the title sequence and it becomes an iconic image throughout the film, as a symbol of death left on the victims of the villain.
  • Tools - Never revealed where the villain is based so we can assume he has and uses a large variety of tools as weapons to mame and disfigure his victims.
  • Telephone - Used in the opening scene, provides safety in the ability to communicate.
  • Gloves - Killer wears them as part of the all black outfit, add mystery to him and prevent others tracing him.
  • Microphone - The news reporter uses one as a classic symbol of news broadcasting.
  • TV - Used by the antagonist to watch the news on.
  • Balloon - Red, signifies danger and a loss of control, reminder of the child
  • Calendar - used in the title sequence, record of past days, countdown to future.
  • Picture frame - used in the title sequence, develops backstory of the villain and his troubled youth.
  • Cake - used in the title sequence as a tribute to the dead sister.
  • Candles - source of light for the villain, very basic and primal, links to the fire that he killed parents with.
  • Birthday card - used in the title sequence, regrets, unsaid wishes etc.
