ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOCKS IN CINEMA HISTORY RETURNS… IN 4K UHD!
“IT’S THE MOST TERRIFYING MOVIE I’VE SEEN.”
WILLIAM FRIEDKIN
In the depths of Texas, residents make a macabre discovery: their cemetery has just been desecrated and the corpses displayed as trophies. Meanwhile, five friends cross the region in a van. On the way, they come across a hitchhiker and decide to take him on board. But when the young people realize that the individual is behaving disturbingly and threateningly, they end up getting rid of him. Soon to run out of gas, the group decides to visit an old abandoned building, belonging to the grandparents of two of them. Each in turn, the five friends will be attracted to the neighboring house. The encounter with its strange inhabitants will be fatal for them...
Nearly 50 years after its release, Chainsaw Massacre deserves its status as an absolute masterpiece of genre cinema beyond measure. A film of all experiments and excesses, denouncing the traditional American family, “cannibalistic capitalism” and the repeated lies of the government in the face of the debacle of the Vietnam War, Chainsaw Massacre has always been considered the most terrifying work of all time. Cult film par excellence, banned in France for many years, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is available for the first time in France in 4K Ultra HD™ and presented in Dolby Vision™ (HDR10 compatible) and Dolby Atmos™!

“AN AMERICAN EXPERIMENT IN CHAOS”: TOBE HOOPER ’S CHAINSAW MASSACRE
BY JEAN-BAPTISTE THORET
“To see a Tobe Hooper film is to agree to delve in an extreme way into the blind spots of our time, and sometimes of our childhood, and to learn that everything we bury always ends up resurfacing. » - Jean-Baptiste Thoret
Through a prodigiously rich and in-depth analysis, bringing together critical study, sociological reflection on America in the 1970s, testimonies from the filming and annexes focusing on film censorship in France, this work recounts the genesis of Tobe's legendary film Hooper, sheds light on its roots and meticulously delves into its different themes. A revised and expanded edition, accompanied by archive photos.
