Problem: the 80s time period that the horror sequence was set in poses an obstacle as it can be very expensive due to the expansive set costs. if there is any details on mise-en-scene that are not accurate to the time period, the audience will notice and it will ruin the facade of the scene.
Solution: the time period of the sequence can be adjusted as it does not add anything to the scene. the atmosphere and 80s vibe of the set can still be kept if needed, however it can be set in a modern time period to expenses
Problem: Children, children can pose a problem as they are difficult to work with as it forces you to rely on their acting ability
Solution: The ages of the children can be altered to be teenagers so that we can cast someone older
Problem: The climax of the story is reached too fast. most movies only reach the big climax mid to end of the movie. However, this opening the father is found out too fast and there is no tension created.
Solution: Allow the "normal family dinner" to take place for longer to create tension. then let the son realise his father isn't his father at the same time as the audience when he passes the mirror. This would mean that we change the linear narrative of the movie, so that the title sequence takes place in the middle of the story
