  Media Research onRedneck and Backwoods Horror movies: Movie No.1:Texas chainsawmassacre (2013 remake). Things I learned:  Teenagers are the victims.  Its set out in the countryside away from urban areas and people.  House is full of hiddensecrets, which makes the audience more involved withthe movie.  The victims donot know the area, indicating the audience that they can feel insecure andunsafe.  The main characters are on holiday The Antagonistsinvestigate buildstensionandshowsdangertothe audience.

  What I Havelearnt:  The scenes are abandoned  There is only a small amount of people throughout the movie  The creatures stay mostly in the shadows so where they cant be seen  they kidnap people slowly so its less noticeable and builds tention in the plot. Showing flashbacks of the past shows that in modern day that the mutated creatures could still be there.
