"I'm back!"

Push open the door and walk into the apartment on Long Island. Louis Gonzalez shouts to the kitchen. He puts down his briefcase, changes his slippers and enters the living room. He sits down on the couch and leans on the thick leather back. He looks listless after a day's work.

It took him a long time to sit upright, but the pressure of work and life could not be relieved.

He is a Latin American immigrant. When he was a child, he yearned for the paradise like America. He finally came to New York successfully. After hard work, he also made a small achievement. However, he found that this is not the imagined paradise at all. A large number of expenses, such as housing loans, car loans, medical insurance premiums, real estate taxes and so on, are too much to breathe. As long as he loses his job, he will go bankrupt immediately.

This also led him to be cautious and tolerant in the company. A Latino in a white dominated company is really not easy

Fortunately, he could find the right channel to vent, otherwise he would have been unable to bear it.

After dinner and chatting with his wife for a while, Luis Gonzalez sits in front of the computer, which is what he does every week. He checks the latest movies on the Internet, looks for his favorite horror movies, and buys tickets with other fans at the weekend.

He joined a group of horror film fans in Long Island. A group of people would watch movies together every week, chat and boast, and exchange films of mutual interest.

This is Louis Gonzalez's biggest hobby, and it is also a channel to vent his pressure. Whenever he sees the white people on the screen being brutally killed, he can always find an inexplicable pleasure.

As usual, Louis Gonzalez opened a forum movie website, found the horror column, and went in.

I haven't been here for a few days. There are many new posts here. Some people discuss when the next movie "scream" will be released. Some people reveal that the horror film expert Lion Gate pictures is preparing to make a new horror plasma film. Some people post the list of horror films that will be released in theaters in the latest month and the specific release date.

Suddenly, a post caught the attention of Louis Gonzalez.

"Use a movie to review the most incredible way of killing people in history! Bloody! Terror! The timid must enter

The title of this post simply tells people like Luis Gonzalez who like horror movies to open me quickly. I'm the type you want to watch.

Louis Gonzalez immediately opened the post, and the first picture appeared on it. The picture was not very clear, like a candid photo, but the content inside made him wide eyed.

That is a white girl, struggling forward in a pile of needles flashing cold light syringes, wearing a strange head cover around her neck, countless needles stuck in her body, where the needles went in, skin swelling, blood oozing, and along with her forward, she would be stabbed by more needles, even if she had seen countless horror films of Gonzalez Feel a burst of bone damage.

It's worse than death! It's a terrible torture!

At the same time, he was curious, what kind of movie is this? How could there be such a perverse and cool way to torture people

His wife came over at this time, only looked at the computer screen in the back, and quickly turned her head to one side, "damn! what is it? What a pervert

She turned around and left. Gonzalez just laughed. His wife didn't like horror movies.

However, his curiosity and interest have been completely checked out. Just look at the first picture and the introduction of the ten thousand needle hole below, there are some real materials in this post about the most incredible way of killing people in history.

He then looked down and saw pictures of murder organs and victims. The pictures were the same as the above. They all seemed to be taken secretly. The pictures were accompanied by simple text introduction.

"See if you can escape from these incredible killing mechanisms!"

There is a sentence on all the pictures. Thinking of the ten thousand needle hole above, Louis Gonzalez can't help but fight a cold war and quickly shakes his head to look below.

"Gill net Labyrinth: the victim is naked and locked into a huge basement labyrinth. If he can't escape within three hours, the exit will be closed forever. There are sharp gill nets along the way to the exit, not to mention exploring the way. As long as he moves a little, he will be cut to pieces. Every step will be scarred and screamed repeatedly..."

The fat man in the picture is hanging on barbed wire. The number of wounds on his body is not clear, especially in his stomach. What drips is obviously not blood, but gastric juice

Seeing this, Gonzalez subconsciously touched his stomach.

And then there's

"Claiming their weight: two people are imprisoned in two cages with closed electric drills on their heads. They must cut part of their body with knives and put the cut meat on the scales. After 60 seconds, those who cut less meat will be punctured by electric drills!"

The picture shows a fat man and a woman. The fat man's stomach is broken and the balance on his side is a mass of flesh and blood. The woman's left arm is full of blood, and her left hand and half arm are being picked up by her. It seems that she wants to put it on the balance nearby.And then there's the knuckles, the pitfalls

It's a vivid collection of murders. These strange ways of killing people are much more enjoyable than simple bloody slashing and chopping!

Below all the pictures are the words left by the post.

"I can't help but see this movie in Los Angeles. I can't help but see it in the last few pictures!"

"The electric saw?" Louis Gonzalez thought about it for a while and decided that he had never heard of the film before. It should be a new one that hasn't been shown yet.

He has been aroused a strong interest by the post, and immediately landed on a search website, entered "electric saw" and found a series of related information.

Director Murphy Stanton, who is this? Never heard of it.

James Franco? It seems that I've seen this name somewhere. I don't think it's a famous actor

Louis Gonzalez skimmed through it, focusing on the most concerned release date - July 13, 2001, a standard Black Friday!

After turning off this page, he went back to the page where the search engine was located and found that there was a lot of relevant content. He opened a few articles and looked at them. Some were words and some were pictures. He was basically praising the film.

"It's terrible..."

"I was directly scared to throw up..."

"It's the first time I've seen people cry in the audition."

It seems that this film is really scary!

Louis Gonzalez nodded slightly, impressed the date he had just seen in his mind, took the cell phone next to him and began to call some members of his horror film loving team.

"I found a good film, which hasn't been released yet. Here are some pictures of it. Look, it's really scary."

"Shall we go to the cinema next Friday? I found a good movie

One by one, Louis Gonzalez called out. In just ten minutes, he made an appointment with nearly ten people, and some of his companions saw relevant pictures or words on other websites. They also thought that pictures alone were impressive, and it was impossible for them to pee their pants in horror.

The timeliness and sharing of network information transmission is far from comparable to other media. Murphy has been paying close attention to the work progress of that network company. It's not a clever way to use a nonexistent audition, but there is still no lack of attention in this era.

In particular, a large film forum website, after the relevant posts appeared in the horror film column, in a short period of five days, the number of visits exceeded 100000, which represented the potential audience.

Forum, film Statistics website, portal website, and even the websites of some large non-governmental organizations, as long as you can leave messages and post, many of them have the content related to "electric saw startles". At least the other party's work makes Murphy, the employer, feel that the money he spent is worth it.

That is to say, after the Nasdaq stock market crash last year, the Internet related industries are generally in recession, and they have not slowed down. Otherwise, this money may not be able to do so many things.

Although from the number of views and replies of some posts, we can see that "electric saw" has attracted the attention of many horror film lovers, but the actual effect can only be seen after it is released.

While Murphy is creating momentum for the movie, Fox Searchlight, as the distributor, has also started its marketing.

Compared with internet topic marketing, Fox Searchlight is more conservative and traditional.

They put up outdoor advertisements, put up posters in local media, played trailers in the late hours of TV stations, and held a press conference in the middle. Unfortunately, limited by the funds and the fame of the film's creators, they didn't make a lot of waves

What Fox Searchlight does is the usual propaganda means of independent films. On the emerging Internet, it just makes a very simple official website as a routine.

The publicity and marketing budget of the project is here. No one can expect that 260000 US dollars will bring sensational effect.

Moreover, the r-level rating of the movie, as well as the publicity of traditional media, and the really attractive large-scale images, can not be too much a publicity gimmick.

Little by little, after two weeks of small-scale publicity, Fox Searchlight finally pushed the movie into the cinema. However, the investment and publicity scale of the film are all here. Neither the cinema Company nor Fox Searchlight can afford too much resources.

Like all independent films, "the chainsaw thriller" can only be drawn in the form of a point show, and there is no premiere. (to be continued). )
