Transcript

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

00:34that 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.

00:55Like, 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

01:08as fraternal twins, the slaughterhouse, the bolt gun.

01:14I think of that moment in the van where the hitchhiker shows them the photographs of the

01:19meat.

01:20Very heavily reminiscent, I think, of a Francis Bacon.

01:24And it's, it, there's Leatherface vibes there for me.

01:29Texas Chainsaw expands my notion of what art even is.

01:33There's one shot in Nosferatu that totally mirrors the shot in Texas when she gets up off

01:39the swing and walks into the house.

01:41She's literally walking into a slaughterhouse.

01:43She doesn't know that, but we do.

01:45Yeah!

01:45She doesn't have an�� Σ gone...

01:47Isn't it similar to LC Chainsaw Massacre.

01:47Ah!

01:49Oh, please...

01:49K faux Zenko Stop.

01:50Let them kill me!

01:53When I was 15 years old, I wouldn't meet a human being a villain.

01:58I think my life is true.

02:01I would never let them kill me.

02:05I would never let them kill me.

02:07I would never let them kill me.

02:10I would never let them kill me.

02:15Sorry.

02:20Sorry.

02:25I would never let them kill me.

02:28I look right like that.

02:32Will have to kill me later.

02:36I will never let them kill you.

02:38I'm sorry.
