Tobe Hooper’s 1974 visceral, horror classic is a nightmare - disturbingly subtle and ultimately terrifying. On a road trip to their grandfather’s grave, Sally and Franklin Hardesty (Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain), along with three of their friends find themselves caught in a web, awakening a darkness they can’t see right away, never mind believe. Are they merely cattle, trapped and destined for slaughter? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an assault on the senses as much as it is on the mind and it will probably give you nightmares; but it must be seen… to be believed. "In a red carpet interview with film leads Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder, Einbinder discusses the horrors that are in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma 's lineage, with the Emmy-winning actress saying the film “…focuses on characters who have been incredibly impacted by the movies they’ve watched”, to which Anderson replies, “ The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , [that] is the one that I saw when I was way too young”. The 1974 film is considered one of the greatest horrors of all time, setting the bar for subsequent slasher films and creating a legacy around the film being a ‘video nasty’ and the moral panic that ensued upon the film’s release." - Written by Raymah Tariq, Programme Manager
