brief introduction
Five young people-Irene, Cape, Morgan, Andy and Pepe-happily drove to Travis, a desert town in Texas. The purpose of their trip is to try to smuggle drugs from here to Mexico. On the way, the appearance of a girl covered in scars, driven out of her mind and hysterical aroused their curiosity. Under the guidance of the girl, they entered a gloomy big house and tried to find out the truth. The big house is shrouded in a mysterious and horrible atmosphere, as if a pair of eyes have been watching their every move. Just as the young people were terrified and at a loss, the sound of chainsaws suddenly sounded and their last nightmare came. ...

The old version of texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas is based on the true story of Edward Gein, a serial killer in 1950s, and directed by Tobe Hooper. It is one of the horror classics with the same fame as The Exorcist, sharping People and Nightmare Street. Every time movie magazines select horror classics, Texas chainsaw is on the list-on the list recently launched by Premiere,
In the 20 years since the release of Texas chainsaw, three sequels have been released one after another. They are 1986 texas chainsaw massacre in Texas 2 starring dennis hopper and 1990 Leather Face: texas chainsaw massacre in Texas 3 starring Wig Montsen. And 1994 "The Saw in texas chainsaw massacre, Texas" starred René E Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey, who were still unknown at that time. Of course, the quality of every movie is not as good as the last one, and the last one was even dismissed by IMDB as "complete rubbish".
But this remake of the old version of the new line is full of confidence. Michael bay, the famous director of Pearl Harbor, is invited as the producer. The film adopts the recently popular low-cost documentary shooting method (the investment is only $65,438+0.3 million), and the actors are all young faces, trying to set off a more bizarre and attractive effect than the novel. Michael bay said excitedly that this remake had given up his long-cherished wish, and the "tall" figure wearing a strange skin mask, a butcher apron and waving a chainsaw, Leatherface, came back.
Marcus nispel, a well-known commercial advertising director, has filmed MTV for many famous bands, which is his first big-screen work since he entered the business. Michael bay expects Marcus' technique to bring more new ideas to the film and get rid of the influence of the original work to the maximum extent. Jessica Biel, the heroine, is a famous American TV star. Her hit drama seventh heaven has been on the air for seven years. Last year's movie "The Law of Temptation" won an excellent reputation, and next year, the third episode of the vampire action movie "Oscar Pistorius" will also be released. At the age of 265,438+0, her acting career is very promising. Jessica has always appeared as the girl next door since her debut. Tired of this, she took the initiative to challenge her acting skills and played the role of rebellious girl in American Beauty. Unfortunately, the producer of seventh heaven never let her go, so Sorabjee found the treasure. In a rage, Jessica went to take a series of sexy nude photos for the fashion magazine Gear, which caused a sensation.

I think even if it is a horror film that attracts the audience with plot and special effects, the acting skills of the actors are very important. I hope the audience can re-recognize me, especially in acting. "
film review
[Edit this paragraph]
In the new version of texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, the audience may find the shadow of Toby Huber's original version more or less. Although the generation who grew up with MTV is far away from that horrible background, they are still very willing to sit on the sofa in the cinema, eating popcorn and shouting sensory stimulation. This is also the main reason why Hollywood low-budget horror movies are very popular recently. For a long time, American audiences have a tradition of watching horror movies on Halloween. The film "German" produced by michael bay has ups and downs, coherent editing and novel shooting techniques.
Texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas Real Edition.
[Edit this paragraph]
1974 10 10/2 1 day, in Austin, Texas, Robert Crais Teng murdered two missionaries-Gary Daley, 20, and Mark Fischer, 0/9,/kloc. Later, he even more horribly cut their bodies into pieces with the chainsaw used by the taxidermist. It is worth mentioning that this case happened in the same year that the famous horror film "texas chainsaw massacre, Texas" was released-1974, and it was in the same place-Texas. Therefore, it is generally believed that his inspiration comes from texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas to a great extent. Even years later, whenever the TV station wants to broadcast the latest development of Kristen's case, it will always broadcast a short clip of texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, ranking first in Texas.
However, the reality version of "texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas" is weird enough without the embellishment of Hollywood. The two missionaries murdered by Christine were Mormons, and Christine herself always hated Mormons. At about 4 pm on the day of the incident, Kristen lied that he was a spy of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and invited two people to enter his trailer to eat venison. The two young men were convinced of his rhetoric and wanted to take this opportunity to publicize the teachings of Mormonism. As a result, on that sunny autumn afternoon, two poor young people got on the bus and never came out. Even people can't find the body.
At that time, Kristen's trailer was parked next to a large local animal specimen shop. On the second day after their disappearance, someone found in the animal specimen shop that there were still human tissues and hair on the blade of the large chainsaw in the shop! And this chainsaw is a tool for making animal carcasses, which is mainly used to cut antlers. Subsequently, the court appraisal showed that the hair belonged to two missionaries, and the blade of the chainsaw was seriously damaged, which was obviously used to saw many hard things. Meanwhile, one of the victims, Daley's prayer book, was found near Kristen's trailer. Investigators began to suspect that Kristen might have borrowed a chainsaw from the herbarium and chopped up the victim.
In addition, the police also found several bullet holes in Kristen's trailer, which were the same caliber as a bullet hole later found in a car in Kristen, and were all caused by bullets fired from the same gun. Then, the police found the watches and keys of the two victims, as well as the wheels and tires of their cars in Kristen's trailer. This ample evidence enabled the jury to sentence Kristen to death in only 20 minutes.
In fact, anyone who knows Christine a little well knows that Christine has been acting strangely and has a long criminal record. As early as he 18 years old, he was in the emergency room of a hospital in new york. He lost patience and shot at random because he waited too long. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. 197 1 year, American police found 126 rifles and shotguns, 32 pistols, 42,000 bullets and 100 pounds of gunpowder in his home during a raid. It is illegal to possess these weapons and ammunition. What's more, once he bathed in the bathtub with the fresh viscera of a deer that had just died naked, which scared his third wife to death by accident.
The murderer cheated on his marriage and went to England.
But I'm afraid no one will think that people like Kristen have lived for nearly 30 years. Although there are indications that the murderer could not be anyone but Kristen, Kristen insisted after his arrest that he had never seen the two victims at all that night, and he did not invite them to the car for the "last dinner"! After his conviction, he strongly appealed for hundreds of pages. The most crucial point is that the police did not have a formal search warrant when collecting evidence on his truck, so his evidence of murder was considered invalid. 1977, his appeal was successful due to insufficient evidence.
A few years later, Kristen was sentenced to seven years in prison for illegal use of weapons, and was put into New York State Prison. During his imprisonment, he met his later wife, Mary Langley, through letters.
Ms Langley is the widow of a policeman in Humberside, England. She lives in Hamburg, a small English town, which is far away and sparsely populated, and few tourists visit it. Ms. Lang Lei joined the International Friendship Association after her ex-husband's death, hoping to broaden her horizons and meet some like-minded people. Unexpectedly, she was "lucky" to make friends with a murderer like Kristen! Ms. Lang Lei recalled: "The International Friendship Association sent me a list with the mailing addresses of 14 people, both men and women. I wrote it-Kristen's name is on it. "
Although Kristen was just a prisoner in new york State Prison. But in his reply, he lied that he was a jailer, and Ms. Lang Lei believed him. In addition, the naive Ms. Lang Lei also believed a series of lies made up by Kristen-Kristen said that he was not only proficient in six languages, but also had degrees from several famous universities in Europe; He used to fly fighter planes over North Korea and fight bloody battles in the mountains of Vietnam. He used to fly a U2 reconnaissance plane for the CIA and a prototype for Bell Airlines. As a special soldier, he participated in the assassination of Ernesto Guevara. As a spy, he rescued Gary Bowles, a U2 pilot who was shot down in Sverdevsk in 1960s. As a hero, he was awarded the Medal of Honor by the US Congress!
From 65438 to 0988, Kristen was released on bail and frequently appeared on local TV programs-people called him "the real version of texas chainsaw massacre, Texas", but unfortunately Lang Lei, who was far away in Britain, was still in the dark. Two years later, 1990, Kristen wrote to her pen pal Mary Langley, saying that she wanted to go to England to meet her. Caroline, the daughter-in-law of Ms. Langlei, recalled: "I thought he was only going on vacation for a month, but before others arrived, all the bags and boxes had been flown in!" Only then did we understand: boy, he is planning to settle in England! At first, he said,' I'll move out when the American hukou is settled', but then he didn't mention it at all! "
The local police found that Kristen entered the UK with a tourist visa, and thousands of Americans entered the UK with this visa every day without any review. After entering the country, he immediately married Lang Lei Lightning and changed his temporary residence permit into a green card.
Lang Lei said: "At that time, I agreed to marry him mainly out of sympathy. You see, an old American bachelor came across the ocean to see me, with no relatives and no reason. If I don't take him in, can't I let him sleep on the street? " 199 1 year 1 month1day, they got married locally and got a marriage certificate. As for the honeymoon, daughter-in-law Caroline said sadly, "Cough! The old couple just went to London, the main purpose is to get his card! "
Before the real culprit was revealed, only Lang Lei sympathized with her new husband, but her relatives and friends didn't have a good impression on Kristen. When he first moved there, Kristen hung the Medal of Honor from Congress around his neck all day, but it didn't take long for others to find out that it was just a fake that could be bought everywhere. After a long time, Kristen's tyrannical nature was fully displayed. Once he had an argument with his neighbor. In a rage, he pulled out a loaded shotgun and shouted at his temple, "If this damn thing were in Texas, I would have shot your brains out!" " No one dares to talk to me like that yet! Nevertheless, the local police did not pay enough attention to the old man. Kristen later applied to Humberside County for a license to operate guns, and was successfully approved.
In June, 2000, advanced DNA analysis technology made great progress in the chainsaw murder case before1/4th century, and the Texas court decided to reopen the case. At that time, the police found a bloody dress with Kristen's name written on it a few feet away from Kristen's home. More than 20 years later, experts conducted a DNA test on the bloodstained clothes and found that the blood belonged to the victim Daley, and the hair on the clothes was consistent with the victim. Limited by the technical level, this kind of detection is impossible when 1974 investigates the case. At this point, irrefutable evidence, waiting for Christine will be a death sentence.
Subsequently, American investigators tracked down Kristen, who had lived in seclusion in Britain for many years. Prior to this, in 2000, Kristen was sentenced to three years in prison by the local royal court for illegal possession of weapons. 200 1 10 Kristen, who was just released from Wally County Prison, was arrested again. You may delay, but time will not. More than 20 years later, this once-powerful killer is seriously ill and can only sit in a wheelchair all day-his knee is completely broken and he can't walk at all. Even so, he is still the most wanted man in Texas. At this point, for Ms. Lang Lei, a nightmare that lasted for more than ten years finally came to an end. "It's all over. I am completely safe. " She told the police that Kristen pointed a gun at her head and warned, "If you dare to leave me, I will kill you!" "
Since then, Kristen has been detained in a prison in southeast London, waiting to be extradited to the United States. On April 17, 2003, she was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital due to a heart attack and died four days later at the age of 70.
