The New Kids

The dominant emotional responses for 'The New Kids' are heavily influenced by its Crime, Drama, and Horror genres, revolving around the escalating threat faced by the protagonists. **Fear** and **Anxiety** are paramount, stemming from the relentless harassment and increasingly vicious retaliations by Eddie Dutra and his gang, culminating in the terrifying kidnapping of Abby and the forced showdown. The film consistently evokes a **Disturbing** feeling due to Dutra's sociopathic behavior and the violent nature of his actions. **Anger** is a strong emotion, directed at the antagonists for their unprovoked cruelty and criminal acts. Underlying these intense feelings are **Sadness** from the initial tragedy of parental loss and deep **Empathy** for Loren and Abby as they navigate a new, hostile environment and fight for their survival.
