The 40th Anniversary 4K Restoration of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 American Classic … THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
Two Screenings: October 23rd & 27th at 7:30pm.
40 years after it was first released, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is still a sweaty, desperate, urgent masterpiece, a film that feels like it was made by lunatics, a movie that vows to unleash chaos and anarchy on the world. A movie that’s still uncomfortable to watch. A movie that still makes an impression.
The history of the restoration of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has been almost as legendary as the history of the film itself. Long caught up in litigation due to conflicts with the first distributor, the film moved to New Line and in the early 90’s the original film elements were found in a brown paper bag in the New Line vaults. Dark Sky Films has undertaken a series of transfers and restorations since then, but none of them equal the scope or intensity of this 40th Anniversary restoration.
This is the only transfer of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to go back to the original 16mm A/B rolls and have all audio and digital color grading and supervision done by Tobe Hooper.
See it like you have never see the film before … and if you have never seen it … WHAT THE HELL!
