Hannibal Rising is directed by Peter Webber and written by Thomas Harris, based on his own novel.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the oldest and most notable movie franchises in the horror genre, and after 50 years, it's still going strong. That being said, like all iconic series, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is not without its issues. One of the most notable things fans complain about is the significantly convoluted timeline, which can make it difficult to dive in and start watching. With multiple films spread out over five decades -- and different filmmakers delivering their own interpretation of the ghoulish Sawyer family -- establishing a single coherent story thread is nearly impossible.

There are nine movies in the franchise, with the first movie, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, dating back to 1974. The subsequent installments in the series establish a complicated timeline, with many films acting as simple sequels, while others fit under the remake, reboot, and prequel umbrellas. Still, the premise is pretty simple,...

As we revealed back in January, Encyclopocalypse Publications will be bringing Jason Jenkins’ non-fiction horror book Phantom Limbs to print on April 2nd.

Based upon one of Bloody Disgusting’s longest running and most successful columns, Phantom Limbs provides a treasure trove of insights into the best horror franchise movies Never made.

Bd has learned that Dark Delicacies will be hosting a signing of Phantom Limbs with Jenkins in attendance, along with a number of the creatives he interviewed for the various chapters in the book.

Tis the season to be scary and Screambox has got you covered with a trio of brand-spanking-new Christmas-themed horror movies that go perfectly with cookies and milk in front of a warm fire.

Now streaming on Screambox from the director of Jason Goes to Hell is Secret Santa and the awesomely creepy anthology Night of the Missing.

That’s not all! Just in time for Christmas break, Santastein will make the long winter’s nights anything but silent on Dec. 19.

Since Black Christmas, holiday films have been a refreshing sub-genre within horror. These films offer a much-needed contrast to the “all is well” narrative that is so often depicted in seasonal films. The angst and anxiety of holiday horror offer a cathartic release because for many the holidays are not perfect, and we don’t see ourselves in the yuletide rom-coms.

In fact, Screambox has more than stocking stuffers, with...

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the events of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the 20th anniversary of the release of the remake, and also the tenth anniversary of an entry in the franchise that has less fans than those two just mentioned: Texas Chainsaw 3D (watch it Here). Recently, our friends at Bloody Disgusting sat down for an interview with one of the film’s writers, Adam Marcus, and during their chat Marcus revealed that the movie lost its cannibalism due to the box office failure of The Midnight Meat Train and lost a couple massacres due to the lower-than-expected budget.

Directed by John Luessenhop and sporting a story credited to Stephen Susco, Adam Marcus, and Debra Sullivan, and a screenplay by Marcus, Sullivan, and Kirsten Elms, Texas Chainsaw 3D has the following synopsis: Decades ago, residents of Newt, Texas, long suspected that the Sawyer family was responsible for the disappearances of many people.

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw 3D, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.

The final installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Secret Santa and the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking. He also teases several projects that are in the works, including a monstrous collaboration with special effects legend Robert Kurtzman.

Secret Santa was born out of Marcus and his writing partner/wife Debra Sullivan’s frustration with the lack of creative control they had on their two previously produced screenplays, 2013’s Texas Chainsaw and 2015’s Momentum. “Artistically, it just started to feel really hollow. I was like, ‘Did I get into this to make money, or did I...

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.

The second installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Texas Chainsaw, the 2013 direct sequel to 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, including glimpses at how the original screenplay differs from the final movie.

“When you see the line ‘Do your thing, cuz’ and people are angry at you for writing it, and you didn’t write it, you just start getting really frustrated about the state of modern filmmaking and the voice that filmmakers have,” Marcus confesses.

The Grudge scribe Stephen Susco wrote the first draft, but as Marcus tells it, “Lionsgate did not want his script because it was about cannibals.

The frightful weather outside has nothing on the family gathering in Secret Santa. Adam Marcus, who is best known for unleashing the gonzo Friday the 13th entry Jason Goes to Hell upon the world, truly outdid himself with this over-the-top Christmas horror movie. Which is saying a lot considering the events of Jason Voorhees’ sole ‘90s outing. After some time away from the genre, though, Marcus returned in 2018 with a comedy as black as coal. Christmas cynics will naturally be drawn to the promise of a family going off the deep end during the holidays. However, this seasonal shocker may prove to be too much even for the biggest of scrooges.

For many folks, Christmas is the most joyous time of the year. For April Pope (A. Leslie Kies) and other members of her family, it’s the most dreadful. The director’s own internal struggle with Christmas is channeled...

I thought I was done buying The Texas Chain Saw Massacre after upgrading to the 40th anniversary edition Blu-ray in 2014. Between the crisp presentation and the copious extras, I was certain it was the definitive version of Tobe Hooper‘s 1974 masterpiece. Yet here I am, nearly a decade later, ready to sing the praises of Dark Sky Films‘ 4K Ultra HD edition.

Long before “gritty” was an industry buzzword, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre epitomized the term. As such, one might be wary that a 4K restoration could hinder the viewing experience, but that is not at all the case. Utilizing the 4K scan from the aforementioned Blu-ray, which was approved by Hooper, and now with a wider color gamut courtesy of Hdr, the picture is presented in staggering clarity while maintaining the 16mm film grain. The oppressive heat is virtually palpable.

Co-written by Hooper and Kim Henkel, the plot...

About a year and a half ago, Texas Chainsaw 3D (watch it Here) star Alexandra Daddario gave an interview where she had some interesting things to say about her time working on the film (which just celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this month). Daddario revealed that she had tried to get the “Do you thing, cuz!” line cut, and that she is very grateful to have been in the movie. Not just because she was having trouble getting work at the time, but also because there were severe issues to overcome during the production and it taught her “what happens when things go wrong, what happens when things go right, why did they go wrong, why shouldn’t they have happened, how does the studio get involved when something goes wrong, how studios interact with projects.” Now, during a new interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Daddario seems to have...

Earlier this week, we learned that one of the many movies that will be premiering at this year’s edition of Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas will be director Phillip Escott‘s documentary The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which “presents a journey into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, exploring the elements that garnered the film its cult status.” With Fantastic Fest set to run from September 22nd through the 29th, the premiere of The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is just over a month away at this point – and a trailer has arrived online to give a preview of what Escott has in store for viewers! You can check it out in the embed above.

The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre was set on August 18, 1973, so today is the perfect day to share this trailer.

Packed with wickedly dark humour, and outrageous gore effects, this is a fast-paced, relentless Christmas slay ride, written and directed by Adam Marcus, whose debut film was the fan favourite Friday 13th entry Jason Goes To Hell, and co-scripted by Debra Sullivan, who wrote 2013 horror hit Texas Chainsaw 3D.

Just behind horror, believe it or not, my second favourite genre of film is ‘Christmas’. I will watch anything if it has a Christmas theme or is set at that time of year. So obviously when these two genres mix, I am over the moon! And there’s plenty of great Christmas horror movies out there. Even in the last few years we’ve had Krampus, A Christmas Horror Story and Better Watch Out. And I was hoping Secret Santa would be added to the list of films I will watch once a year.

The Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees: The Making of The Final Friday is a new documentary that traces the history of the 9th movie in the franchise, and the first installment for New Line after Paramount Pictures let the slasher killer saunter his way over to the Warner Bros. owned studio. It did a lot to reestablish Jason as a demonic force, and brought some exciting new mythology to the table. Today, we have a poster for this documentary, which gives us a much-wanted Freddy and Jason rematch.

Not only are there are a lot of Evil Dead references in Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, the team behind this sequel were also able to bring Freddy Krueger into the mix with the Friday the 13th franchise now at New Line. Freddy doesn't show up until the final moments, and he's only hinted at, with his signature knifed glove...

Ahead of the UK premiere of Secret Santa at Horror Channel FrightFest Glasgow 2018, director Adam Marcus tells us about his obsession with Christmas Eve, being inspired by Orson Wells and why family is the real ‘monster’.

Over the past few years we’ve seen a lot more seasonal based shockers than ever before. Why is the Christmas Holiday period so ripe for horror?

I’m not sure. Maybe, because it’s the “Happiest Time of the Year”, it’s ripe for the picking when it comes to our genre’s ironic sense of humour. I think there is a cynicism that’s kind of permeating everything. Nothing is as it seems. No one can be trusted. So, perhaps these films are playing into people’s cynical fear, and that’s the cause for the trend. If you can’t trust your government, or your neighbours who might vote for that government,...

With so many long-running franchises enduring, it’s safe to say that continuity in various series is getting screwier than ever. Granted, part of the reasoning is that these intellectual properties need to be made accessible for moviegoers who weren’t yet alive in the 1970’s or ’80s, but we can thank the horror genre for doing its generous part in allowing remakes and such to be a regular thing these days.

Now, studios could’ve just left it as building off original timelines and going forward, but, as of late, we’ve seen a return to originally established continuities with disregard for sequels that followed. Prime examples of this would be Blumhouse’s upcoming Halloween reboot that follows only the original flick and a newly gestating RoboCop movie that adheres to that very same formula. Really, it’s about time that studios release guides that bring the general public up to speed.

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday wasn't the last time we ever saw Jason Voorhees on screen, but it did prove to be the last true installment in the franchise. Now, original director Adam Marcus is back to tell the tale behind what is considered the most controversial Friday the 13th sequel of all-time. He will be producing this retrospective documentary, as well as providing all the insight into what went on behind the scenes.

Jason Goes To Hell is notorious for its limited use of Jason, despite the slasher's name being in the title. Many fans still love it for being good, gory and a lot of fun. Now, The Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees: The Making of The Final Friday will dive deep int how this movie came to be, and why it is what it is. Safe Place director Nick Hunt is helming the project.

Christmas is supposed to about family, friends and a bit of kissing under the mistletoe. In Adam Marcus' (Jason Goes to Hell) Secret Santa, Christmas is about poor table manners and murder. A trailer for Secret Santa was just released. The clip shows all sorts of mayhem as family members turn against each other. The film stars: Michael Rady, Drew Lynch and Debra Sullivan. While a release date is awhile away, fans of Christmas themed horror films can preview the film's latest promotional material, here. The film's official synopsis talks of an altered sense of reality. That disruption occurs at the dinner table as seen in the film's first trailer. Eventually, a "flawed hero" comes to save the day. But, is there anyone left to save? A release date for Secret Santa has not been announced. Once the film finds a launch date, it will be announced here. More details on the film,...

I would have loved to see George Miller’s Justice League Mortal film, but apparently it just wasn’t meant to be. Right before the film was supposed to start shooting, Warner Bros. shut it down. Not long after the script for the film, which was written by Kieran and Michele Mulroney, leaked online.

The script may have been around awhile, and I’m sure some of you have already read it, but Comic Bug comics store in Manhattan Beach, California recently hosted a livenread of the script with a full cast of actors, and it’s really interesting. Unfortunately, the original cast wasn’t brought together to do this, but it’s still entertaining and worth checking out.

The live-read consists of Adam Marcus as the Narrator, Alfred Pennyworth; Jennifer Wenger as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince; Tracy Drolet as Iris Allen; Curtis Fortier as The Flash/Barry Allen; Will Dixon...

You can say this much for Momentum – it more than sustains its own. From an energetic opening heist sequence, complete with slick full-body suits and voice modifying masks left over from a Daft Punk concert, to an extended cat-and-mouse shootout in an abandoned factory, the movie doesn’t skimp on hard-hitting, high-octane action, and its streamlined (and very silly) plot moves from over-the-top setpiece to setpiece with refreshing self-awareness.

Olga Kurylenko, a long way from Quantum of Solace, stars as Alex, one of the ultra-professional thieves in that aforementioned heist, which director Stephen Campanelli handles with style and unexpected creativity. She’s a very believable badass, delivering high kicks and bullet sprays with a cold, methodical detachment that fits the character nicely.

Unfortunately, though Alex and her co-criminals were simply going after diamonds, they also end up in possession of an all-important flash drive, which contains top-secret information that could...

After Platinum Dunes’ remake and a badly-received prequel to said remake, Texas Chainsaw (3D) goes back to where it all began. Picking up directly where Tobe Hooper’s classic 1974 movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ended, this direct sequel shows the aftermath of the first film as the townspeople, discovering their suspicions about the Sawyer’s are true, show the family the meaning of mob justice – burning their house of horrors to the ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought.

Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After...

The birth of the modern horror movie can arguably be traced back to a handful of films, notably (but not exclusively) George A Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968), John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), Wes Craven’s Last House on the Left (1972) and Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). All of them have been remade in recent years, though unsurprisingly none of them came anywhere close to surpassing or even equalling the originals, so rather than choose to reboot the franchise for the second time in a decade, director John Luessenhop has gone down a different route and the result is interesting to say the least.

Picking up exactly where the original movie finished some thirty seven years earlier, Texas Chainsaw is a direct sequel to Hooper’s 1974 classic and opens with the aftermath of the titular massacre and the consequences for the Sawyer family of having allowed...

Leatherface cranks his weapon of choice for yet another outing that starts interesting and wastes any potential it had in the opening minutes. Texas Chainsaw (the seventh film in a franchise that has never lived up to the first) was directed by John Luessenhop (Takers) from a screenplay by Kirsten Elms, Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan (both who wrote the story with Stephen Susco). It stars Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeager, Trey Songz, Scott Eastwood, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Tania Raymonde, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry, Richard Riehle, and Paul Rae. The film also features cameos from stars of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre - including Gunnar Hansen, John Dugan and Marilyn Burns. Although the film.s story is so weak it seems...

Evil Wears Many Faces

Revving Up Monday 27Th May

Lionsgate’s Texas Chainsaw, the Us #1 box office hit, picks up directly where the terrifying 1974 movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ended, with the repercussions of Leatherface’s shocking slayings. In the aftermath of Tobe Hooper’s classic, the townspeople take dramatic action against the Sawyer family. They had long suspected that the family was responsible for several mysterious disappearances and had their suspicions confirmed when a young woman escaped the house. Word of the murders quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought.

Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking...

Texas Chainsaw continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off. In Newt, Texas, people have been going missing without a trace for decades. Years later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young girl, Heather (Daddario), discovers that she has inherited a sprawling Texas estate from an unknown grandmother.

Love it or hate it, Texas Chainsaw 3D made an impact on genre fans. That being said, the one thing nearly everyone can agree upon is the fact that for a majority of the movie Leatherface's mask is easily the worst of the franchise. Get ready for a peek at what could have been.

The cats over at Geek Tyrant landed themselves some unused concept art for the titular character from artist Jerad S. Marantz. Each of the designs below flat out blow away what we saw in theatres and just add to the whole "What the fuck were they thinking?" canon of questions regarding this movie. Check 'em out!

I have a confession. Despite living in Texas, I've never been a big fan of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. I actually didn't see the original film until I was 25 years old, which shocked most of my friends considering what a horror buff I am. But it just wasn't a staple in my household. (My mom and I were both Jason fans to the core.)

I'm also not as venomously anti-remake as most of my friends. Do I wish Hollywood would get new material and invest even a fraction of those monumental budgets into indie films and original ideas? Absolutely. But from a marketing perspective, it's easy to see why they don't; these franchises are guaranteed cash in the bank, and many younger audiences aren't even familiar with the originals.

Infographics chronicling the exploits of our favorite movies, kills, and characters have become all the rage lately, and with the box office success (or failure, depending on which week you're looking at) of Texas Chainsaw 3D (review), it's time to take a look at the saw's tally.

Synopsis

Texas Chainsaw 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family,...

Texas Chainsaw 3D is a strange animal. Everything about the flick is wonky and weird, and we guess in some way that's kind of appropriate. In any event don't get too revved up about a sequel yet, kids, as there's more to the saw. No idea what that "more to the saw" means, but it sounded cool.

Yesterday Deadline announced that Texas Chainsaw 4 was on the way, which is befuddling in and of itself as there are several sequels, one remake, and one prequel already; however Texas Chainsaw 3D was said to be a direct sequel to the original, really making it Texas Chainsaw 2 so a sequel to that would have been Texas Chainsaw 3 and not Texas Chainsaw 4, but we must remember that this new series is also home to a 40-year-old character portrayed by a 26-year-old hottie. Where was I? Oh yeah...

Today the rights holders for the film,...

In an announcement that surprised no one given Texas Chainsaw 3D's number one spot at the box office last weekend, Millennium Films is moving ahead with Texas Chainsaw 4, and production will begin later this year in Louisiana.

Per Deadline, the next installment will be spearheaded by producer Carl Mazzocone, executive producers Mark Burg, Avi Lerner, Tobe Hooper, Trevor Short, John Thompson, Danny Dimbort, Lati Grobman, and Christa Campbell. Considering TC3D took in a surprisingly high $21.7 million gross and a per screen average of $8,193 on 2,654 screens, Millennium is smart to strike while the iron is hot.

“Lati and Christa brought the idea of this franchise to us. They were certain of the audience appeal so we signed on,” Millennium Films Chairman Avi Lerner said, “and it turns out they were right. It was a bloody good decision. Lionsgate agreed to distribute the film in the Us and did a fantastic job.
