The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4K 2003 Ultra HD 2160p

In 1973, America was shaken by one of the most horrific crimes in the country's history. In a small town somewhere in the vast expanse of the Texas Valley, five teenagers disappeared. Their fate remains unknown to this day. A documentary filmmaker found the only witness to what would later be called the “Texas Massacre.” He spent more than three years searching for an 8mm film that had been stolen from the county sheriff's office. It was the original film of the crime scenes.

User Review

A sense of doom from the very first frames. Not disappointment, but doom. While other teen horror films (Urban Legends, Screams, Wrong Turn, I Know What You Did Last Summer, House of Wax, etc.), there is initially a fairly clear hope for the survival of the main characters, but in The Massacre, there is none, and this is a surprising feeling.

The film's “unpopularity,” its seriousness with a clearly formulated claim to Real Horror. And it is real precisely when the chances of good and evil are so unequal, the superiority of evil is so obvious that you want to kill yourself before the battle even begins, and the creators of Carnage conveyed this atmosphere wonderfully.

The aura of a never-ending nightmare, of hopelessness, persisted throughout the film. This is the main highlight of the film, its main distinguishing feature, a very strong aspect.

How did the creators achieve this? How is it different from similar films? Firstly, it is based on real events (if used wisely, this is already depressing, since anyone can find themselves in a similar situation, this is Life); Second, the retrospective (yellowish film, darkening, other cinematographic effects that transport us to the past — and there, as we imagine, people were more helpless: no modern means of communication, the American hinterland was not as densely populated, etc.); thirdly, increased cruelty and the general atmosphere of madness, which has already been discussed.

The style of committing the crime, the way Leatherface acts, differs from the traditional, familiar manner of behavior of maniacs (Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc.): if previously a masked maniac (most of them prefer to hide their faces for various reasons) would slowly, steadily, step by step approach the victim (the echo of his heavy footsteps reverberating through the corridors), then in The Massacre (as in The Scream), the villain emphasizes speed, and this speed is comparable to that of a young jaguar; they run very fast (with a saw, which I suspect also weighs something), and the fact that there is practically no waiting period for death creates additional suspense (although, for half a century, creators thought differently).

The constant chase, the immediate bloodthirsty reprisals, the even more acutely felt and depicted atmosphere of detachment from the rest of the mentally healthy world are depressing even for the strongest nerves. Unless, of course, you approach viewing with sarcasm and mockery.
