of The New Life of the Classic Horror
Movie , the producers prepared to shoot this new version of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" into a trilogy. According to the original plan, these three films were not shot in chronological order. Most of the scenes of the first movie will take place in the hospital; the second movie is a prequel that will explain why so many people are sent to the hospital; and the third movie will complete the story chain. . This is a very risky and radical idea. After thinking about it again and again, the producer decided to shoot the movie as usual and put the story of the movie after the end of the original movie. Although not filmed into that kind of high-concept trilogy, the new episode "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has successfully brought the story of the film to the present and opened up new possibilities.
Although it is a new series, the director of the film, John Rusenhope, shot the film in the traditional way. John Lucenhope said: “Because this is the first movie in the new sequence, I don’t want to put the main plot of the story on the murderer, and I don’t want to make this character a superhero. I still The film was made according to the original shooting method. The Chainsaw Massacre has always been a threat and has always been a symbol. I added a bit of emotional and human content to this character. But this does not indicate his The brutality is well-founded, and it does not indicate that we can understand this character from a correct or normal rational point of view. Moreover, this character does not have rational thinking. At this point, I am consistent with the original movie. "
Although it is a sequel movie, but the story of the film has been over several decades, how can the director shoot this story so that all the horror elements in the original film can scare the audience? John Lucenhope said: "Creating a new character, but he is consistent with the original character in plot, equipment and features, so that the audience can be satisfied and the story can continue. In fact, the chainsaw massacre The whole highlight of the movie is on the chainsaw. If there is not such a character in this movie who kills people with chainsaw everywhere, then this movie is another horror movie. According to our current shooting method, the story can not be affected. It will be written in a restricted manner without losing the charm of the original film. It should be said that this classic horror film has new vitality."
Suspense, running, and 3D.
In fact, all American plasma horror movies are similar. It's nothing more than a few young people walking into an old house, and then they encounter either murderers or supernatural monsters. Afterwards, the blood was everywhere, screaming again and again. People began to flee. In the end, some people died, some escaped by running, and after healed their scars, they forgot the pain and continued to repeat the same mistakes. In this movie, all these elements are shown. John Lucenhope said: "Why don't this be a traditional horror movie of the 1990s, because these elements are all shown in the movie. More importantly, this is a 3D horror movie. .Actually, I don’t think 3D is a good thing. It’s cumbersome, stupid and lengthy. In order to shoot 3D, we have to modify the script. To shoot ordinary movies, we can just set up a camera on the car and start shooting, but shooting 3D is not good. However, the immersive sense of presence brought by 3D is still incomparable to 2D movies. Especially a sense of three-dimensionality and a sense of substitution, which is very desirable. 3D can To provide a world for people to walk into, believe, and get lost. The look and feel is more delicate and lifelike. I think this is likely to be the trend of the future. But now, 3D is still too complicated and difficult to understand."
Many running shots, women's screams and splashes of blood in the film constitute the "horror element" of the whole film. Actress Alexandra Daddario said: "In this movie, I am running and screaming almost all the time. This is almost all of this movie. Moreover, the horrible plot and scene also require me. Use this kind of performance to create. I think the director created a suspenseful atmosphere very well in this film, because there is a suspenseful atmosphere." John Rusenhope also considered a lot of suspense elements in the film. , He said: "This is the most like a Hitchcock movie I have ever filmed. There are a lot of suspense in the film. For example, I filmed many of Alexandra Daddario’s running in the woods. Although the audience may find this kind of running thing a bit boring, but if they know there is something ominous in the woods, then this kind of running brings a sense of horror. Waiting for this horrible thing The time it happened is more shocking energy than plasma and screaming. I think this is the source of horror in horror movies. If I shoot a leather-faced man chasing and killing a girl with a chainsaw, then this This kind of movie is definitely dull, and all kinds of things will be bored and boring."
