00:00My first viewing of Texas Chainsaw Massacre happened on my friend's ancient, early 80s VCR.
00:12The title sounds like you're chewing on flesh, Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
00:18Texas Chainsaw Massacre was always presented to me as a test.
00:29Are you hardcore enough?
00:30And that was part of the danger and excitement, the feeling that you were watching something that you weren't meant to see.
00:36I admire this movie so much.
00:39It's got a classic, primal horror movie feel to it.
00:51Every frame has something unnerving in it.
00:54Like, even a long shot of the highway, then there's a dead armadillo.
00:59In some ways, I see a book like Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy and Texas Chainsaw Massacre as fraternal twins, the slaughterhouse, the bolt gun.
01:12I think of that moment in the van where the hitchhiker shows them the photographs of the meat, very heavily reminiscent, I think, of a Francis Bacon.
01:22And it's, it, there's leatherface vibes there for me.
01:29Texas Chainsaw expands my notion of what art even is.
01:34There's one shot in Nosferatu that totally mirrors the shot in Texas when she gets up off the swing and walks into the house.
01:41She's literally walking into a slaughterhouse. She doesn't know that, but we do.
