Dir. Tobe Hooper1974, USA, 84 min
Rated R
50 years ago, five youths on a weekend getaway in the Texas countryside fell prey to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his cannibalistic family, and horror cinema would never be the same. Violent, confrontational, and shockingly realistic, director Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974. Facing a storm of controversy, censorship, and outcry throughout its troubled release, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a landmark motion picture and cultural milestone.
Bikini Drive-In is a semi-monthly screening series examining horror films through a feminist lens curated by our Programming Coordinator Olivia Norquay and Distribution Director Jillian Groening. Generously sponsored by IATSE 856 Manitoba.
