luenced any changesThe purpose of this essay is to establish the similarities and differences between the two versions of Texas chainsaw masacre. This will be done by paying close attention to idea's and theories about the way genre's repeat themselves and the wider contextual factors that may have influenced any changes made in the newer version of the film.
The original Texas chainsaw masacre was released in 1974 and was most probably one of the best horror films that was ever released. Directed by Tobe Hooper and presented as a true story, involved a group of friends on a road trip in rural Texas. One by one they are ambushed and murdered by a family of cannibals. The Texas chainsaw masacre is the first of the other six films that became a film franchise revolving around the character of "Leaterface". The success of the original film lead to a remake in 2003, this proved to be just ask successful as newer technology was available making the film more 'gory' and terrifying to its audience.
There is one similarity that can be seen in both movies, that is they both follow the same conventions of a horror film.
