It details the impact of the new chainsaw massacre reboot and how even as a standalone film it does not reach any degree of impressiveness as a horror movie. Most of the audience was very much disappointed with a key aspect though. Many times horror movies disregard any plot and focus on gore which results in a poorly formulated movie. On the contrary though a movie with a superficial story that has no impact to the plot or killing even more frustrating to sit through. Many people found this to be issue with the chainsaw massacre reboot. In the modern era this seems to be the issue with mainstream horror movies where the plot exists simply to exist and nothing more. It becomes the bare minimum simply to call something a film. This reboot advertised gore and mutilation as the chainsaw massacre series is known for. Seeing dismembered corpses has been captivating for many audiences since the rise of early slasher films. The producers and advertisers capitalized off of this by exciting the audience for a blood soaked adventure but that was unfortunately not the case. The gore was lacking as well as stated by many viewers. Their was lack of killing despite the hype generated around the prospect of it being a chainsaw massacre movie but with even more extreme gore, gore to rival Terrifier. Within the film I aim to produce a story that will influence the events but the violence of a horror movie will makes itself known as well.
