The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974) - 18 Cert
|
Tobe Hooper’s cult classic remains one of American cinema’s most terrifying representation of family horror. Released during the ‘feel-bad’ decade of the seventies, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre not only detailed the extremes of familial disfunction, but effectively captured the wider moral ambiguities of a nation battered by events such as the Vietnam war and the Watergate scandal.
In the film, five friends travelling through rural Texas stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. The group soon find themselves picked off, one-by-one, by a masked madman with a chainsaw. Theatrical Screening
