body films and the reaction of the human mind

The body visuals in film are very important to the way to audience reacts to a film. What the audience sees, is most likely the way they feel while watching the film. The way the body shows off its insides and grossness can create an entire film. The most important part is the goriness of the human body that is shown off, primarily in horror films.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a great example of gory emotion. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is labeled as "Splatter Cinema". Filmmakers of this genre are extremely delighted to show off the grotesque and the extreme for the audience and the cult labeling. Texas Chainsaw Massacre was actually banned from the United Kingdom as well as other countries for an extended period of time because of the imagery. "As knives tear through skin, Aliens burst from within and blood, guts and bile spill across the screen, the boundary between the self and the outside is fatally collapsed" (Ross 51). The boundaries which are described makes the audience wonder more of what is possible rather than impossible. The gore flashing the silver screen shows the audience what they've never seen before or had ever intended to see. This helps me by giving me a better idea of how the human body and the limitless boundaries show up in my future films.

As I am planning my own Friday The 13th film, I went to go scout for locations and I brought my Jason Voorhees figure to put to scale of what the shot would look like.

question- how effective is body horror on someones stomach?
