Chain Reactions
Synopsis
Alexandre O. Philippe (Lynch/Oz, SFF 2022) celebrates and delves into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and its profound influence worldwide, bringing together a stellar lineup of commentators – including not only legendary horror creators, but also Patton Oswalt and Australian author and critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. They unpack its influence on ’90s J-horror films like Miike’s Audition and Ichi the Killer as well as the likes of The Blair Witch Project and Man Bites Dog, while proposing that Tobe Hooper’s slasher classic might just offer a chilling glimpse into America's future. Coupling bold insights with never-before-seen outtakes, this Venice Award-winning documentary is required viewing for horror fans and cinephiles alike.
