Description:

The dawn of horror as we know it may be the best way I have seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre described. Directed and co-written by a then upcoming filmmaker from Texas named Tobe Hooper, the original 1974 film tore through audiences and has had such a lasting impact on horror culture that filmmakers such as Rob Zombie and Eli Roth constantly cite it as their inspiration. But with three sequels and a myriad of remakes and retellings in its path, does the series deserve its place on the upper echelon of horror film series ever made? That’s what me, Matthew Goudreau, and Mik Duffy are here to discuss.

By 1990, New Line Cinema was a big deal in the world of horror. Horror icon Freddy Krueger had made them a powerful commodity, and they seemed to be taking small steps in purchasing the rights to each horror franchise out there. But before taking Friday the 13th for cheap from Paramount, the company tried their hands at Leatherface. Released with the tagline ‘the most controversial horror film ever made’, Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 was released with very little fan fare. But some have warmed up to it over the years. Will any of us agree with that assessment?

And then, we come to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. Written and directed by one of the co-writers of the first film Kim Henkel, the fourth film of the franchise is most well known for being the starting point for future Academy Award winners Renee Zelwegger and Matthew McConaughey. I am going to end my description of this podcast with the statement that one final review by one of us is perhaps the most shocking (controversial?) review ever given on this show. Who gives it? Listen below to find out!

Thanks for listening and remember, keep coming back as we look at each film of the franchise, stopping at last year’s Leatherface.
