Introduction by film writer James Frizzell, @whatjameswatched:
In 1974, Tobe Hooper shook the world with THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, a triumph of scrappy, drug-hazed genius; a mob financed blockbuster; a scab-picking, amoral, post-hippie shocker of heartland madness and savagery. Banned outright all over the world based on its title alone - the film's blunt force and lingering miseries would be impossible to bear were they not so beautifully rendered: a blighted country beneath a benign sky. Great stuff!
"Oh my God. This movie has a Z-serious title, but it is one of the deepest movies in the genre that has ever been made... And it's a physical experience, there is no denial about that. It's a real work of art." - Julia Ducournau (Director; RAW, TITANE)
