I can’t believe what we just watched!!!
A piece of art would be the only answer. I can’t work out if I’m more impressed by the way the story unfolds mixed with the cinematography or the fact that this is all happening in front of our eyes, advance techniques may I just add in 1976! Most movies back then were medium shots or medium-close ups.
Like I mention in the beginning before we played the tape, I’d never even heard of this movie before let alone find out it’s classed as a Horror masterpiece. It’s an interesting one that because it really is a masterpiece visually, artistically and everything in between but I didn’t feel like we were watching a horror movie. Perhaps that only adds to the charm and experience of it. Then again, this is 1976!
Horror has been pulled and stretched way beyond the origins of the genre.
Some of the facts:
We’ve got cameras on tracks with markers for points A to then B following the subject.
Optical zooms which I don’t normally like as it makes it look video, this they were doing whilst moving so you didn’t even notice it. Brilliant!!
Diopter lenses or filters being used. Characters at different focal lengths yet looked as if they were on top of each other. Made you literally feel how Carrie feels.
Pro mist filters or some fog filter to push Carrie feeling isolated. Love that!
ECU - Extreme Close Ups allowing us to be connected to characters, objects or using it to help the flow of storytelling.
Sexualised imagery yet didn’t feel like smut or purely for a touch of voyeurism. ART!
Clever flip on the horror trope of blood being spilt in the opening act. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like that before or done so cleverly.
The acting for a movie made in the 70s, normally they’re as stiff as a 5-day old dead body but in this movie, chefs kiss! A touch of class.
As you can tell, this was amazing and thank you so much to all those who suggested this… well… Masterpiece.
This is ESSENTIAL WATCHING! So… Play the Tape!
