Movie Conventions Research -The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

For the past week the group has been researching various thriller movies, the movie we're researching at the moment is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM) is a long term favorite amongst scare enthusiasts and has touched the hearts of millions of fans. However, the most recent installment of the series is poorly rated by many due to its poor storyline. The TCM is a scary film and has some notable scenes that draw out fear in the audience but lack of interesting storyline makes it bland and unentertaining. The TCM uses tracking shots, close-ups and inserts. The TCM also uses very detailed props and costumes to immerse audiences such as chainsaws and leather masks. 

The TCM fantastically uses jump scares and music to intensify the film and it truly terrifies the audience. The use of loud sounds leaves the audience cowering in fear and leaves them on the edge of their seats. The TCM also uses terrifying costumes to unsettle the audience and immerse them on the farm setting the TCM takes place. 

However, the TCM is a poorly structured film that leaves audiences somewhat disappointed with the film. The TCM has lackluster acting that is very cliche and unoriginal and feels as if it was just a poorly made remake of the other installments in the franchise. The TCM has poorly developed dialogue which also draws away from the scares. To prevent this I would develop a thorough plan to establish meaning and order in our opening sequence.
