THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986)
August 2 : 9:30 pm – 11:00 pm
“Deserves to be appreciated as a subversive classic” –Collider
In 1974, Tobe Hooper quite literally changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Although the hulking Leatherface and his trusty power tool left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn’t be until 1986 that the buzz came back… in THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2! Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyer clan to a cavernous, labyrinthian dwelling beneath an amusement park, Hooper s deliciously demented sequel sees Leatherface and Co. continue their murderous exploits afresh. This time around, local DJ Stretch runs afoul of the Sawyers when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Lefty Enright, is hell- bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin, who perished in the original massacre. A cult classic in its own right, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 serves up a heady blend of gratuitous gore, socio-political critique and jet-black humor whilst Dennis Hopper’s unhinged turn as Lefty needs to be seen to be believed! Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface s second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of the masters of horror.
This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s August-long LOST IN THE DESERT series, highlighting films that explore the mysteries and harsh beauty of the world’s most intemperate landscapes.
