Explain

In movies such as 'The Cabinet of Doctor Caligar' the female victim, Jane, is that a victim. Her acting is over dramatic and every time there is the slights bit of panic she faints. This was expected at the time of the films released, because the woman should be dependent on the men in their lives for survival. Compared to the more recent film 'Scream' were the main girl, Cidny, is not a helpless victim at all, she fights agents the killers. The movie Scream create the rules of Horror films and reefers too many other earlier horror film. The rules were what the audience expected at the time.

"1.Don't have sex
2.Don't do drugs or drink
3.Don't say I'll be back because you won't be"

The ‘rules of horror’ are all said by the horror movie fanatic Randy. The horror rules were all broken within the next couple of minutes after mentioned. If any of these rules where broken by the female victim in this horror genre they would be attacked and sometimes die.
