Needless to say the story, after all, it is also a remake of one of the most famous works in the history of horror movies, and countless genres filmed in the United States in the past 10 years have faithfully copied this model, forming an extremely tired visual and auditory experience. In the American horror film series, horror is second, because American horror films, whether they are real crimes or ghosts, use the direct tearing of the human body as a selling point. How to tear it? What kind of tool is used for tearing? How many victims are torn? On what occasions is it torn? It is around these four questions that all kinds of murderers and monsters were born in the writings of Hollywood screenwriters.
I admit that the lethality of the chainsaw is quite strong. In fact, the invention of the chainsaw itself is very easy to make people have criminal impulses. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" satisfies this primitive impulse in the hearts of the audience to a certain extent, and understands the chaos. Playing with a chainsaw is very bloody and will kill people. The sound of the chainsaw is undoubtedly the most nerve-stimulating of the audience, so that every time I turn on the hair dryer after washing my hair, I will involuntarily tremble. In addition, it seems that there are so many deaths in the original and pirated, and even the sequel and prequel movies. The lives of the heroes have long been ignored by us. We are used to calling them "protagonists". On the one hand, we marvel at the brutality of the murderer, while enjoying the shock of the murderer’s bloodthirsty, but we minimize the sympathy for the protagonist. There are even countless people who worship and imitate but rarely hear the comfort and mourning for the victims. Fortunately, straightforward killing methods like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" are no longer admired in this era. People have turned from "making people terror" to "making terror". Terror itself is a very terrifying thing. The term terror that makes people feel terrible is simply terrifying!
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" can only be said to be a product of an era. It is not only a case in the real world, but also represents the national spirit of an era-drugs, rock music, sex, and this extremely developed country will never escape. Interrelated, when young people start to live in this world wantonly, what kind of role will come out to punish them when they can't see it? Obviously, the director would not describe the victims simply because of criticism or just for the needs of the screenwriter. They took drugs and trafficked to the rock music festival and were chaotic, full of curiosity about strange things, and then died one by one. Is this what the director wants to tell young people or is it a lesson? Take the story that has been circulating for a long time. In the past, there was a child who was very disobedient. Later, he died.
The new version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is based on the above reasons. Although it has spent more than half of the time telling the story of these young people in the plot setting, the murderer has not appeared for a long time, but he is like a judge and The punisher accused them of their derailment and put their innocence in quotation marks. He held a chainsaw and inserted any part of the body of men and women. The sound of the chainsaw was like the tone of an electric guitar, full of anger and anger. There is another story. Then, there are too many stories about anger, but the music about anger is only rock music. What you want is excitement and passion. Then, the sound of the chainsaw is the most primitive killing. Pleasant noise. The young people fell under the chainsaw one by one, screaming one by one, in fact, they were redeeming the "unknown" crimes they had committed before.
The unspoken rules of horror movies, light, shadow and sound effects are used to the extreme in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the intense white moonlight shot through the fence, the light that always appears behind the Chainsaw Massacre on time, and the hide and seek again and again. The game has brought the audience's psychology to home. If there is something to be lacking as a horror movie, it is more blood and more splashes of fleshy brains, because after watching the movie, there is really no way to think of one that can be called enough. "Bloody" killing.
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" can be regarded as the first half of a road movie, because the protagonist never knows his life or death in the next moment during the whole process. Although hundreds of road movies have long left the audience with no freshness, they are repeated in the end. The passage that presses the sheriff really makes people see the extreme distortion of the road movie. In this passage, the revenge of the survivors releases the confusion caused by the long-term horror in a bloody way, and it intensifies in the process, and finally stays. A rather old-fashioned open ending.
The charm of this movie is not much other than the chainsaw. There is nothing in the head-middle-tail that makes people feel compact and invulnerable. We can only admire the American nation through the pictures of still corpses and wild desert roads. The wildness and exaggeration of the artist's response to this.
