While Hollywood surpasses, who will be the next one to take a bite of The Sierra de la Cadena de Texas massacreA new documentary is here to remind us how much is only the 1974 original Tobe Hooper. Chain reactions Follow the elegant and reflective style of the previous documents focused on the film by director Alexandre O. Philippe, including 78/52 (On the shower scene in Psychopath), Memory: Alien’s origins, Faith jump: William Friedkin in the exorcistand Lynch/Oz. Five speaking heads and carefully chosen images and clips are woven together, exploring Texas Chain SierraThe impact on cultural, artistic and personal levels.
The interviewees are also carefully elected: comedian Patton Oswalt, the filmmakers Takashi Miike (Hearing, Ichi The Killer) and Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s body, the invitation)Film critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and author Stephen King. All have a deep love for Texas Chain SierraBut they have that appreciation from different angles and contexts.
Oswalt talks about the memory of his earliest movie, a scary encounter with silence Nosferatu In a Halloween childhood party, probably around time Texas Chain Sierra He was released in 1975. A fan of the budding horror was fascinated with what was felt as a forbidden text, an impression that was maintained once he could finally see Texas Chain Sierra As many Gen X children did: in the video recorder of a friend, of a film that had seen better days.
“He has the feeling that the murderers in the film have stolen a camera and are filming all this,” he reflects, and also points out that “each painting has something disconcerting.” You can say that Oswalt has seen Texas Chain Sierra Many times since that first view and has thought about that, especially its representation of Leatherface and blue neck survival. His apocalyptic reading of what the sun represents in the film is something he had never considered, but now I can’t get out of my head.
Mike is the first Texas Chain Sierra The experience, he explains in his segment, only came by chance, after Charlie Chaplin’s movie he wanted to see was exhausted. “For the first time, I felt that movies could be something dangerous,” he recalls, and admits that buying that second -choice ticket ended up changing his life. If his 15 -year -old had not gotten into Texas Chain SierraHe says: “Life would have been different. It would probably not be a film director now.” He also talks about the film compared to Japanese horror, both traditional and the most recent j-human releases, and offers a fascinating vision of the use of violence in the cinema, including his own remarkably soft titles.
Heller-Nicholas can be the least recognizable among speaker heads, but their point of view is no less interesting, especially while talking about growing in Australia and how Texas Chain Sierra He was perceived there. Like Oswalt, he could first see him thanks to a “shit VHS launch” and remember that the yellowish and low quality presentation actually improved the “feeling that you were seeing something really undercover that you did not intend to see.” The film leans in that sense regardless of which version is watching, but Heller-Nicholas’s memories are something that you have only seen Texas Chain SierraThe restoration of 4k pristine will never completely understand, for better and worse.
The best selling King, who tells the look Texas Chain Sierra For the first time in the early 1980s in an almost empty theater, he appreciates the way Hooper, with whom he worked in 1992. Sleep walkers; Hooper also directed 1979 Salem lot Miniseries: he locked his story with “there is no barrier that makes you think that this is just a movie”, comparing it with Night of the Living Dead That way.
King also deepens the difference between “horror” and “terror”, something that is exclusively qualified to speak, while praising Texas Chain Sierra for its aspects of “outlaw”. “The artist’s work is to make you feel uncomfortable,” he says, although anyone who sees Chain reactions Surely that agonizing dinner scene has voluntarily suffered, including the weak attempts of the grandfather to give a blow with his hammer, more than once.
Kusama also saw Texas Chain Sierra For the first time on a large screen, in an art theater. His discussion explores Leatherface’s confusing role in the Cannibal family and the ways in which the film can be read as “a vision of the failure of the United States”, as well as “a representation of primary human impulses and disappointments.” She is the only interviewee that indicates the opening statements that the film is based on a real story, a warning that barely prepares the viewer for the nightmare to come.
After seeing Chain reactionsYou will immediately want to see again The Sierra de la Cadena de Texas massacre To look for the new meanings, the documentary may have helped him discover, as well as appreciate the unique mix of beauty and anguish of the film. As Kusama points out, “there is always more subtlety and meaning to pick it up.” Even more moving, as Miike says, “we must sustain Texas Chain Sierra Dear and continues to foster it. “
Chain reactions It opens September 19 in New York and Los Angeles; It expands throughout the country on September 26.
