Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 is an american exploitation horror film directed by Tobe Hopper. This film is a good example of horror as it includes many conventions of horror such as an isolated location, a killer, hidden identities.
The remake of the film really adapts to the modern generation, a lot more violence and detail is included.
Also, from looking at the two posters for the films we see a difference, too.
In this one we see a really dark and scary looking poster. The poster is taken up by a person's face with scars. The colour is really distorted and old which fades in with the black background and underneath the title of the film is placed in the bottom centre. This creates a really simple yet intriguing poster for the film in which I think, would attract the modern audience.
However, in this one, we see that the poster is really plain and bright. As if it is a poster for a theatre performance or a play. The background is white, which is not a colour that the horror genre would generally use to induce fear. The rhetorical question takes up a lot of the poster and we are straight away attracted to that first. I do not think it is effective because the use of font and style does not have any horror included.
