Week 7 comparison: similarities and differences: "The Texas Chain Saw massacre by Tobe Hoppers 1974" and "Deep Red by Dario Argento 1975"
Short Essay #1: The Texas Chain Saw massacre by Tobe Hoppers 1974
For week 6 I decided to watch The Texas Chain Saw massacre by Tobe Hoppers 1974. I picked to watch the film because I love horror film, I have never seen it and its a classic American horror slasher all should watch.
The Texas Chain Saw massacre is a 1974 American horror film produced and directed by Tobe Hooper. One big similarities between this film and Deep red is it being a horror film, but with it is its differences is The Texas Chain Saw massacre was an American horror film with the killer using a chain saw and Deep Red being an Italian horror film with its killer using a hatchet. Both films are unique on their own kills, actors, the feelings you get from watching both films, and they both stand out in the horror gene, where I have never seen a film like them.
For The Texas Chain Saw massacre by Tobe Hoppers 1974 many critics would say that Texas Chain Saw massacre is bloody, violent and gruesome, even being banned in many states. From a review post by Roger Ebert he says “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is as violent and gruesome and blood-soaked as the title promises -- a real Grand Guignol of a movie. It’s also without any apparent purpose, unless the creation of disgust and fright is a purpose. And yet in its own way, the movie is some kind of weird, off-the-wall achievement. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to make a movie like this, and yet it’s well-made, well-acted, and all too effective." ( Roger Ebert)
Another fine difference from The Texas Chain Saw massacre and Deep Red is the box office numbers. With The Texas ChainSaw massacre by Tobe Hoppers 1974 having a budget of less than $140,000 but making $30,860,378 million with still having a growth today. With Deep Red it made ₤3,709 billion (Italy) which is $629,903 US dollar and I couldn't find its budget.
During 1974 a major historical event that happened was when US President Richard Nixon stepping down (got impeached) after the Watergate scandal. The Watergate Scandal was a 1972 break in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate apartment complex that President Nixon tried to cover up, when failed he was later impeached being the first president to happen to.
I wanted to add this clip from Texas Chain Saw because it was an unexpected first kill in the film, with Kirk not even getting a chance to run and just like in Deep Red its first kill was right at the beginning of the film, being unexpected, and both being bloody and gruesome.
Short Essay #2: Deep Red by Dario Argento 1975
For week 7 I picked again another horror film but this one being foreign and has many bloody, violent, and gruesome kills like Texas Chain Saw.
Deep Red (Profondo rosso) more known as The Hatchet Murders, is a 1975 horror film directed by Dario Argento. Deep red is about a psychic medium being murdered ( Macha Meril) with Macha dying her neighbor Marcus Daly a pianist, feels he need to solve the case, being the one to see the murder. The film is filled with strange music at weird parts of the film but is enjoyable to listen to. Unlike The Texas Chain Saw massacre with it award silence scene with little to no music.
An article named Deep Red (1975) written by JPRoscoe says "Argento is one of those directors that makes movies that you remember, and Deep Red is no different. The movie is filled with squeamish moments that sometimes look fake, but also hold a gross realism to them. Deep Red has some grueling and terrifying moments that make it a must for horror movie fanatics." ( JPRoscoe)
I would agree that both Deep Red and The Texas Chain Saw massacre had wonderful directors that could make you remember their films from their gross, gruesome, and terrifying moments.
Deep Reds movie poster really caught my eye, from the creepy doll hanging and scary body in the back compared to The Texas Chain Saw massacre, being creepy to but doesn't stand out like Deep Red does.
During the time the film Deep Red came out a historical event from 1975 that was happening was The Vietnam War ending on April 30th, 1975, after lasting 8 years, with many killed it finally ended.
Finally for Deep Red I wanted to include this scene that toward the end of the film. When I watched this scene from the film, it was so unexpected. It was creepy and terrifying and I hope no one in life ever has to have this happen to them.
Overall both films stood out to me with weird twists and turns, gruesome kills and scenes. I have never seen anything like them and I hope they both get more recognition. I was very impressed by both films and enjoyed watching both, I would highly recommend them to any film lovers that love horrors and twists. Both films had their differences but were same in a lot of ways. I'm excited to see what others think and I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.
