"Chainsaw Horror 4" uses a very flattering (chicken thief) method, which extends the life of the vertical saw in disguise, and then opens up new characters, and also enriches the psychological process of the vertical saw to become a vertical saw.
At the beginning of the film, it is also immediately after the end of the third part, the big boss vertical saw that is really dead, and then the vertical saw was also dissected in the autopsy room, and the dissection process was really to turn over the boxes and cabinets to see people pouring into the mountains and the sea, especially under the meal.
Soon the dissector also found an Easter egg in the vertical saw stomach, which was a tape, and handed it over to Hoffman, the new detective in charge of the case.
The tape says, you're the one who survived, do you think it's over, no, the game has only just begun.
Here you need to pause to explain, the beginning of the fourth part, in fact, directly connected to the fifth part, and then the entire fourth part of the film content, is the story line that occurs in sync with the third time, that is, to tell the audience about the appearance of other new characters, including Detective Hoffman.
So don't faint, let's go back to the beginning of the third part, that is, the vertical saw is not dead, and Jeff is preparing to start the game, at the same time what happened in another location at the same time.
Yes, it was another chainsaw appetizer, two people locked in each other, one closed eyes and one mouth, either you died or I lived, and finally the Sylvester Stallone-like mouthed man survived.
After that, the plot returns to the murder scene where the female detective was sucked out of her ribs at the beginning of the third part, and Hoffman was responsible for the case, again, ah, at this time the vertical saw was not dead, so Hoffman had not yet heard the tape in the belly of the vertical saw.
In addition to the Hoffman police in the investigation site, at this time an FBI agent named Peter also participated, in order to prevent everyone from being blind, here to distinguish the brothers, Hoffman is relatively fat, lips and nose are also more swollen. Peter, on the other hand, is thinner and has heavy eye bags.
The FBI agent, peter, came up with a physical analysis, thinking that Amanda could not lift a female police officer who was heavier than her, and that the vertical saw was still dripping with cancer, and it was even more impossible to hang the female police officer.
That night, Detective Hoffman is kidnapped by the Pig Mask, and what awaits him is a game of life and death.
On the other side, a new role detective appeared, convenient memory is called little black brother, he is the captain of the SWAT team, but the little black brother has become the most unconscious person in the team, always impulsive and reckless, so easy to emotional captain to lead the team, so that the team members always pinch a sweat for their own lives, because the lives of the team members are buried by the reckless decisions of the little black brother.
One night the little black brother was attacked in his own home, and when he woke up, the tv at home played the familiar guide to the rules of the vertical saw game, and the vertical saw told the little black brother that he kidnapped detective Hoffman in front of him and another person, that person was Matthews in the second part, it turned out that Matthews escaped after breaking his leg, and after tearing up amanda who turned back, Amanda did not kill anyone, but imprisoned Matthews in captivity.
Now the two detectives are colleagues of Little Black Brother, and the vertical saw wants Little Black Brother to play the game according to his instructions, otherwise the ice cubes under Matthews's feet will gradually melt, Matthews will be hanged, the water that melts the ice cubes will be electrocuted, and the current will also electrocute Hoffman.
So the little black brother in order to save colleagues can only start the game, he found that the room has more than a pig-faced man, unmasked to see a trafficker who abducted a young girl, at this time the hair of the trafficker was handed into the organ, seeing that the scalp was about to be ripped off, the little black brother could not see death and not save, he looked all over the house but found that the knife and scissors were taken away, and finally in the human trafficker's wailing, the little black brother finally unlocked the code, and the result was that the trafficker took out a knife from the cabinet to stab the little black brother, and the little black brother could only subdue the human trafficker in an inexplicable state.
It turned out that the trafficker also had a cassette tape, which asked the trafficker to kill the little black brother after being rescued, otherwise she would announce her crime and sit in jail.
I don't know how the trafficker felt when he saw the knife, he already knew that the murder weapon he gave himself was a knife, so he let the little black brother use it to cut off his own hair first.
Then the little black brother went to the destination according to the hotel key he got after the first level of clearance, opened the room with the key, and found the game cheat box of the next level, which was a photo of the fat boss of the hotel, and the little black brother deceived the fat boss into the room according to the operation of the tape recorder, and then there was a dark room full of evidence of the fat boss.
It turns out that the fat boss is a strong J criminal, usually specially stunned some good family women and then started, the little black brother saw these, he wanted to punish him, just the vertical saw mechanism has been arranged, the fat boss was forced by the little black brother to go to the organ, unless the fat boss blinded his eyes, otherwise it is a dead end, the end of course, the fat boss does not have the courage to take the bento.
On the other side, FBI agent Peter, followed behind to check the murder scene of the little black brother, and found many photos from the scene that pointed to Jill, the ex-wife of the vertical saw, so Peter invited Jill to the bureau, wanting to learn more about the background of the vertical saw from her mouth.
Jill can't resist the pressure of 1510 to explain, this is also what I said earlier when talking about the background and world view of the vertical saw, how the vertical saw from a husband model, ready to be a good father, directly because of the drug addict led to Gil's miscarriage, and then found out the cancer himself, and after looking for death, twisted to think that his life should not be extinguished to become the judge of life and death of others.
The film also depicts a lot of John's growth into a vertical saw, such as how to polish his own mechanism, and how to record good sound, and then use a bulky tape machine, manual repeated audio editing, selfies with masks again and again, zero basic learning to finally become a self-media master who accurately grasps the sense of horror video and audio, do not want to be so inspirational.
The first object of judgment of the vertical saw is the drug addict who made him lose his child, the mechanism is to let the drug addict use his face to press the knife, the pressure is strong enough to escape, and then the drug addict, although successfully escaped, fell into another thorny cage and was hanged.
Let's pull the time back to the present, the little black brother continues to grope to the third level, is an abandoned school, from the clue little black brother recalled, in a domestic violence case he handled, the little girl's father is a domestic violence man, but the wife is too weak to say, every time the domestic violence man can get out of it, when the little black brother also beat the domestic violence man.
And at this time the domestic violence man and his wife were tied to the classroom, they were full of iron bars into each other, before the little black brother did not come, the rules of the game told the weak wife, if you want to escape, you must pull away the iron bar inserted in them, the iron bar inserted into the domestic violence man is a fatal part, and the wife's is a small injury can be recovered, the wife finally chooses to let herself survive, one by one to pull out the iron bar, but when the last one is about to be pulled out, bleed too much and there is no strength, until the little black brother appears, help him pull it out.
On the other side, Matthews and Hoffman, who have been locked up in the warehouse, are actually guarded by a third person there, in case Matthews slides halfway through the ice cube game and can't play, this person is the front of the stallion-like Sylvester Stallone's mouth-sealing male lawyer, in short, this lawyer is specially designed to help some criminals escape.
The lawyer appeared here not to help the saw, but he himself was forced to do the task with the organ tied to him, otherwise he was dead, the lawyer had four tasks, the first was to watch Matthews and Hoffman within the specified time, so that they did not take their lives to enjoy the game. The second is to give Matthews a gun and a bullet, why no one knows. The third is that no one is allowed to break in within the specified time. The 4th is to wait until the little black brother passes the test, everyone will be safe.
At the same time, the little black brother has also come to this warehouse, on the other side, Agent Peter, following the murder scene that little black brother has cleared before, and The comprehensive collation of Jill's statement, has also found the address of this warehouse, that is, little black brother and Peter agent have gone to this warehouse where Matthews and Hoffman are held.
This is to explain the warehouse, this warehouse is also the third story, Jeff played the game of the chamber of secrets warehouse, while the "ward" where the vertical saw was before his death is also in this warehouse, and, at the end of the film, it is told to the audience that at the end of the third part, Jeff slowly walks to the ward of the vertical saw, witnesses his wife Lynn being shot, and the fourth little black brother slowly approaching Matthews and Hoffman's chamber, which happens almost at the same time.
Good! After understanding this meaning, we look at Matthews and Hoffman's side, the lawyer carefully examined the chain of Matthews's organ, and finally realized that if the door was opened within the specified time, Matthews would be shot to death, and at this time, the little black brother was already outside the door, and with the character of the little black brother, it was impulsive and reckless, so the tragedy happened like a domino effect.
Sure enough, the little black brother did not listen to the persuasion at all, and directly knocked on the door within the unspecified time, and Matthews took the gun and shot at the little black brother in order to stop it.
The little black brother was shot, he saw that the lawyer thought he was the mastermind behind the scenes and also shot at the lawyer, and the door was opened within the specified time, and the organ immediately shot Matthews, matthews died, the water began to flow to Hoffman, Hoffman saw that he was about to be electrocuted.
Before the lawyer died, there was a recording of the little black brother, and the recording was to tell the little black brother to act recklessly again without a brain, and you killed your colleague again.
At this time, the matryoshka reversal was staged, only to see Hoffman slowly come over, the body doubled, it turned out that he was also a disciple of the vertical saw, on the generations, and he had to learn the art earlier than Amanda, and Amanda had to call him a second uncle.
The previous gag lawyer, the female police officer, and the entire game line that arranged the fourth little black brother were self-directed by Hoffman, which also conformed to the rules of the game of vertical sawing, and the judge had to get close to the game or even participate in the game, and the second Amanda did the same.
And before the game, Hoffman also wrote a letter to Amanda, which is one of the main reasons for Amanda's killing of Lenn after watching the third part.
At this time, do you remember that peter FBI agent, he entered the warehouse and took a different path, accidentally hit and bumped into Jeff's game route, Peter just arrived, Jeff just wiped the neck of the saw, Jeff saw a stranger intruding, was about to shoot but was preemptively killed by Peter.
Peter was also confused when he saw so much ketchup in the room, and at this time, Hoffman came to the door after completing the task, and casually locked the door again, leaving the trapped Agent Peter.
In fact, strictly speaking, "Chainsaw Horror 4" is more like rubbing a wave of heat of the third part, maintaining the residual temperature of the vertical saw that is not dead, supplementing the DLC of a chainsaw series, and completely extending a new story line and characters with the third part.
Although the plot is still quite complex and rich, there are still matryoshka dolls and reversals, but this form is more created through editing, memories, and information gaps to the audience, less of the natural logic of the three stories in the third part converging into a focus, but it is still a production level line.
At this point, the end of "Chainsaw Horror 4" returns to the beginning, Hoffman is listening to the tape of the vertical saw belly, in the end this tape is not for Hoffman to talk about it, in the end how much intangible cultural heritage is left in the human world, can only wait until "Chainsaw Horror 5" to uncover the mystery.
