Some Movies Featuring Los Angeles[]

MaXXXine[]

Los Angeles, California, is an iconic backdrop in numerous horror films, from the chilling pursuit of fame in MaXXXine to the relentless pursuit of survival in The Terminator, and the sinister undercurrents of Scream 3. Each of these films uses the city’s sprawling urban landscape to amplify the terror that lurks beneath the city’s glitzy exterior, turning familiar locations into sites of horror, survival, and existential dread. In MaXXXine, Los Angeles becomes a distorted reflection of Hollywood's dark side, a city where dreams are made—and shattered—in the pursuit of fame. The city itself seems to be complicit in the characters' horrifying descent into madness, as they struggle to maintain their grip on reality amid a landscape of exploitation and violence.

The Terminator[]

The Terminator uses Los Angeles as a dystopian battleground where the line between man and machine fight each other. In The Terminator, the city is not just a location, but an almost apocalyptic setting where the future of humanity is at stake. The Terminator’s relentless pursuit of Sarah Connor through the streets of Los Angeles turns the urban jungle into a place of horror, as the safe, everyday cityscape becomes a dangerous place where every corner might conceal a threat, and survival is never guaranteed.

Scream 3[]

In Scream 3, Los Angeles is similarly transformed into a locale where horror and entertainment collide. Set against the backdrop of the film industry, it highlights the macabre intersection between the world of movies and real-life violence. The iconic Hollywood Hills, once a symbol of success and prestige, become the site of tragic murders, blending the fiction of the film industry with real terror. The movie’s locations, from movie sets to parties, take on a serious tone, as the characters realize that the killer is someone deeply embedded in their world.
