The Fright of the Chainsaw That Cannot Be Final

When "The Final Chapter" was hung up on the poster of "Chain Saw 7", I smiled indifferently. Don't take it seriously. In the "Black Friday" series that year, the fourth film was called "The Final Chapter", but I couldn't help but shoot 5 more in a row. Back then, the sixth part of the "Meng Ghost Street" series was called "Freddy's Dead", and it was also "3D", but I couldn't help but shoot another one. By the way, I almost forgot that both Jason and Freddy continued to show their teeth and claws on the screen with remakes in the past two years. They also fought together before. Therefore, the "Chain Saw Horror" series is definitely not a bird. After finally waiting for another wave of 3D craze, it is willing to retreat, and there will be no more 3D horror fever? It’s hard to cultivate a wave of fans who treat "chainsaw horror" as a Spring Festival Gala, scolding every year, watching every year, and are uncomfortable after a year of lacking. Will it stop there and not continue to make a few more? Therefore, the "Jigsaw" adults did not forget to teach their perverted style to pass on in the film, and we have every reason to believe that the "Chain Saw" series will also continue in various forms. However, at this time, it is possible to make a phased summary of the "Chain Saw Horror" series.

Speaking of a series of movies, it is natural to start with the "dad" of the series, and the "dad" of this series is naturally James Wynn. This Asian-American director who looks exactly like Liu Qian in my opinion wrote the script of "Chain Saw" in 2004 in collaboration with Ray Warner, and created this series. However, James Wynn was not attached to the guide tube of this series. With the exception of the first one, he played the role of producer in the subsequent chainsaw films, but he participated in the screenwriting of the third one. Since then, the series has Having worked with three directors, it can be said that they have maintained a certain degree of continuity, and at the same time have ups and downs with the director's style. In 2004, the appearance of "Chain Saw" was like the opening of a newly listed stock, which gave people an immediate surprise. It is the first part that established the basic genes of this series. It is bloody but not obsessed with plasma; it is reasoned but not too preaching; it is suspenseful but not deliberate; its ending gives a powerful reversal, but it does not deliberately do it. Although the aura in the first part is not as strong as later, the appearance of the main character "Jigsaw" also makes this character the soul of chainsaw. After that, no matter whether or not he is dead, he will remain in the shadows. The characteristics of the subsequent "Chain Saw Horror" series.

Although the first part is the best, most individual and innovative of the "Chain Saw" series, I would say that it is the second part directed by Darren Lynn Bowsman that really casts the entire series. In this movie, we see that there are more people, more devices, more ways to die, more miserable deaths, more blood plasma, and the "jigsaw" is more like a philosopher. Of course, the "Chain Saw Fright" stock can't be long-lasting by the novel themes at the beginning of the listing. It is too difficult to keep creating new ones. Therefore, a series of continuity is inferior to a large-cap stock that generally requires a stable and lasting "main business." Therefore, the subsequent "Chain Saw Horror" series all follow this pattern, each of which has to "jigsaw" with a theme or a jerk logic to find a few unlucky ones, and then design some weird installation works. Let the unlucky people use their lives to complete the "jigsaw" performance art, and these methods of death must not be the ultimate goal of the victim's body or a certain part of the body's blood and bones. The follow-up mode opened in the second part, to be completely modeled in the third part, seems to be heartbreaking, but in fact it is to retreat. It is too difficult to innovate a series of horror films year after year, but the patterning of the idea can make it based on long-term vitality. From this point of view, the subsequent modularization of "Chain Saw" has relatively captured the pain points of horror movie audiences. It connects each movie and is logically closely related, making this series full of excitement. The audience's unstoppable desire to follow up. Although it has been vulgarized to the form of plasma movies, plasma is the best trick for horror movies. What's more, its plasma is not a simple way to start and fall, but to create another magic weapon for this series of catching people: the killing device, every "saw scare", watching the latest method of death is almost a "jigsaw" "Fate is even more suspenseful. In this way, fans shouted disappointment for every film, shouting that the series could end, but the film continues to be filmed, and the audience continues to watch it. It has become a horror series with great potential for longevity.

However, the "Chain Saw Horror" series did not go smoothly along the way. After determining the basic model of this series, Bowsman was a little wrong in maintaining the continuity of the series. He tried to connect the previous plots in each film to establish a huge clue and system, but he ignored the possibility of new audiences who might appreciate a certain chainsaw film as a single film. So, in the fourth part, we saw the whole film continue to flash back to the previous three scenes, so that I didn't know what flashed after watching the first three, let alone a new chainsaw audience. Fortunately, this tendency has been corrected in the latter few films. Although the desire of the following directors to connect the first few films in series remains unchanged, they are basically just used as background series instead of the main story line, ensuring every chainsaw film. The relative independence of this series is also more conducive to the extension of this series. For the "Chain Saw" series, "Jigsaw" is also a character that needs to be treated with caution. Although this series has long planned for this, he has arranged a successor for him, but every one of his "ghosts" In appearance, it can be seen that both the producer and the audience can't let go of it. Tobin Bell can't always "jigsaw" to the end, and unlike other horror series who find newcomers to pretend to be old characters, Jason can bring the mask to silence and wield a big knife; Freddy will not pretend to be mad when he turns a burnt face. It's not far from ten; Michael is also a pale mask that can scare people for a lifetime. However, the "jigsaw" failed. He is a man, a man who murdered like hell because of his wife's accident, and a man full of personality in terms of voice, expression, expression and values. Looking for his own successor is better than looking for a new Jason. It is more difficult for us, but I hope that the next new chainsaw will cut the mess with a sharp knife, let the "jigsaw" stop, and create a new stage in the "chainsaw horror" series.

Looking back on the past seven years, watching the chainsaw every year has become a habit for many horror fans. Since 2004, it has grown from a movie to a horror series with cultural phenomena. Although it has its ups and downs during the period, it has been cursing. Seven years have passed in China. Every year, I have become accustomed to a certain day, opening up the shock of the chainsaw that year, opening my eyes wide and frowning, waiting for new unexpected devices and plasma. This has become a habit of watching movies. I continue to wait. A "saw horror", because I think it won't be final.
