make a man scream

I was surprised for a second at the beginning of the story, because the victims were two men, and it was also a man who was emotionally broken.

If you hate The Shining as much as I do, I know what I'm talking about, most horror victims are women, it's women who make screaming noises, it's women who get hunted helplessly— I know female abuse is a mass fetish, but as a woman I hate it!

So at the beginning of the film, the scene where the thin and white boy is imprisoned and screaming, who can not say that it is an innovation? Even the female characters that appeared in this film did not die, and the only survivor was a woman. I don't know if the director did it on purpose or by accident, or it was influenced by American social thoughts. , in fact the truly classic works are the opposite in terms of gender.

Wouldn't it be more exciting that Kill Bill, my favorite Resident Evil series, had a woman at the center of the killing? This is not only to break through gender stereotypes, but also to pull the male who was in the dominant position into the victim position to think.

The Chainsaw Horror is precisely centered on men, and the brokenness of men also stimulates the audience's senses. This is a thoughtful movie.
