On their way the group picks up a hitchhiker who seems to be visibly sick from the heat and possibly crazy. However, the hitchhiker goes on to torment and violently threaten the group, so they leave him on the side of the road.
Once the group finally reaches the house, Kirk and Pam go and search for an old childhood swimming hole. When they reach the location, they find that its dried up but, hearing the sound of a nearby generator, the two go to a nearby farmhouse to see who is around. Kirk goes inside where he encounters Leatherface and becomes the villains first victim by way of a sledgehammer. Pam goes in to see what is taking Kirk so long and she too is killed by Leatherface by being hung onto a meathook.
Night soon approaches and the remaining friends begin to worry about Pam and Kirk. Jerry goes out searching for them and is killed by Leatherface as he goes on the hunt for prey. He eventually finds Sally and Franklin and springs upon them, repeatedly drives his chainsaw through Franklin's body. At this sight, Sally immediately flees by running through the forest towards the house. She first hides in here but, after realizing that it in fact belongs to Leatherface, she again flees into the night with Leatherface on her chase.
Sally eventually makes it to a gas station where she pleas for help. Instead, the owner attacks her with a broom, puts a sack over her head and forces her into a truck. It turns out that the gas station owner, known as Old Man, is in fact Leatherface's older brother. Old Man takes her back to the house where the hitchhiker, also part of the family, is arriving at the same time.
In the morning, Sally manages to escape and is chased through the countryside by the knife-wielding hitchhiker and the chainsaw wielding Leatherface. Just as the hitchhiker reaches her and begins to stab her,...
However, despite these limited concerns about the films brutality, the vast majority of critics viewed and continue to view the film as being a cinematic breakthrough and horror classic. Not only has it influenced the spawn of numerous sequels and re-adaptations, many hold the film out as being one of the most influential horror films of all time. Because the film relies on a documentary feel, it is often cited
While the characters and situations may not be extremely complex, there are things that bind the films together and make them attractive to the viewer. For example, some films, such as "Rosemary's Baby," "The Exorcist," and "The Eyes of Lara Mars" use sexual situations in the film to add to the feeling of horror and anticipation about what is to come. Most use very graphic violence, but others create
Sound Effects in American Horror Story and the Tell-Tale Heart Sound has been an important aspect of the performing arts even when films were still silent. Often the music played during a screening of these works formed an important component of how audiences experienced the film. Indeed, this is still so today. Music and sound effects in film and television today contribute far more to what an audience gains from the
In this way the American Dream became even less accessible to poor persons, who in the past may have expected help from the more fortunate sectors of society. Instead they were forced to see the rich grow increasingly richer without any chance for access to prosperity. Unemployment and disparate income rates exacerbate the problem. Those employed in the most worthy of caring professions are often at the lowest end
It was a give and take society of inherent fairness and justice as each individual stood forth to do their part in the interest of all concerned....for the sake of America. While freedom should have meant for one and all, it is unfortunate, but as well expected in the human condition that the standards and beliefs of the Founding Fathers as to freedom failed to consider independence and its'
Reading this piece is particularly interesting, as it is a direct account of the events during that day in 1773. The article describes very clearly the images that could be seen during the "tea party" and its after effects.
