These are being played next to one another, but are not double features.
Much more than a mere horror film, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is one of the most infuential films of all time. Beyond the frenzied screams of machines and animals alike, spinning in the heat waves of a seemingly inescapable hellscape lies a deeper exploration of the affects of disenfranchisement, dehumanizing labor, and survival on the nuclear family in a place industry and society has abandoned for dead.
Fifty years after Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE shocked the world and forever changed the face of global cinema and popular culture, CHAIN REACTIONS charts the film’s profound impact and lasting influence on five great artists – Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller- Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama – through early memories, sensory experiences, and childhood trauma. By crafting a dynamic dialogue between contemporary footage and never-before-seen outtakes and delving into personal impressions triggered by distinct audiovisual formats (16mm, 35mm, VHS, digital), CHAIN REACTIONS goes to the heart of how a scruffy, no-budget independent film wormed its way into our collective nightmares and permanently altered the zeitgeist.
