Cet article analyse le rôle que jouent les sons diégétiques et la musique dans The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974). En ayant recours à une partition atonale faite de notes discordantes et de sons diégétiques des plus étranges (allant du vrombissement d’une tronçonneuse au caquètement d’une poule en cage, sans oublier les hurlements de l’héroïne récalcitrante), Tobe Hooper a pour intention d’éprouver les nerfs des spectateurs. Le réalisateur s’appuie alors plus sur le sens de l’ouïe que sur les effets spéciaux, et il parvient ainsi à créer une sorte de hurlement poisseux et rougeâtre qui déstabilise encore aujourd’hui les spectateurs les plus blasés des films d’horreur contemporains. |
