Chain Reactions

Chain Reactions explores the lasting legacy of Tobe Hooper’s classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre through the perspectives of five artists: Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama. Using interviews and outtakes, the film examines how the horror landmark affected their work, shaped their imaginations, and left a deep psychological imprint tied to childhood fear.
