Informative Documentary On Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Flesh Wounds: Seven Stories of the Saw (2006) (V) (directed by Michael Felsher) is an entertaining 72-minute documentary that concentrates on a few aspects that made the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" memorable. My favorite segment is the one dedicated to Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface). I had no idea he was a published writer and producer of documentaries. It is hard to believe that this intelligent, articulate and well mannered man, played one of the most iconic, vicious killers in cinema history. Like the equally interesting "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Shocking Truth," this documentary can be found on the wonderful Dark Sky's two-disc ultimate edition of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (DVD, Region 1). Recommended.
