The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Leatherface goes Hollywood

Q: How do you remake the greatest horror movie of all time? A: You hire producer Michael Bay and music video director Marcus Nispel to create a slick, trashy spectacle that’s the exact opposite of Tobe Hooper’s masterpiece—and all the better for it. Anchored by a menacing performance from R. Lee Emery (FULL METAL JACKET) and fully dedicated to maximum excess, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is the clear winner of the 2000s horror remake wave. This is a grim and intensely violent experience that’s soaked with guts, sweat, and the most terrifying depiction of Leatherface since 1974.

Screening from an archival 35mm print.
