Fede Álvarez explains the filmmakers' goals for that gun violence storyline in the new TexasChainsawMassacre movie.
We’ve got a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie available to watch on Netflix. In many ways, the new film embraces the pillars of the franchise, like the atmosphere, tone, and sheer brutality of Leatherface’s attacks. But then there are also some new thematic additions, and those storylines have already sparked quite a bit of conversation.
During my interview with Texas Chainsaw Massacre producer Fede Álvarez, I asked him what inspired the team to incorporate this storyline and why they went about doing it this particular way. He began: “You’re kind of trying to explain to them. It’s almost like if you’re going to another planet and you’re trying to explain what happens in America and you’re gonna go, ‘Well, there’s this obsession with guns and there’s this gun violence and they have all these issues with this and this and that and that and that,’ and you just talk about the things that normally [are] not — they’re very American issues that at least I didn’t deal with where I’m from.
“It’s like we’re trying to put all those themes in the movie and trying to have Leatherface represent the hate that comes out of that. For me, he represents that hate that comes from fear, not the hate that’s intellectual.
One thing you might be wondering after watching this new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie is, what exactly is this film saying about its themes? Turns out, that lack of clarity is what the filmmakers were going for. Álvarez explained:
