Film House Collective The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Film House Collective presents the original THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE for our second installment in March. A perfect follow up to X, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE redefined horror cinema and helped usher in the era of big box office, low budget violence centric horror. Few films that followed in TTCM’s genre footsteps had the savvy or fortune of being the right film at the right time poised to change genre film forever.

En route to visit their grandfather’s grave (which has apparently been ritualistically desecrated), five teenagers drive past a slaughterhouse, pick up (and quickly drop) a sinister hitch-hiker, eat some delicious home-cured meat at a roadside gas station, before ending up at the old family home… where they’re plunged into a never-ending nightmare as they meet a family of cannibals who more than make up in power tools what they lack in social skills…
