Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Fede Alvarez Explains That Gun Violence Storyline
56We’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.
The 2022 movie puts the spotlight on a group of friends who head off to Harlow, Texas with a business plan. They’re going to transform the rundown down into a haven for young adults looking to leave city life behind. Trouble is, when they arrive, they immediately act like they own the place, angering the locals — including Leatherface.
Sarah Yarkin’s Melody is one of the masterminds behind that business endeavor, and she’s reluctantly recruited her little sister Lila (Elsie Fisher) to join them for the trip to Harlow. Lila’s past plays a significant role in shaping her current headspace and influencing the decisions she makes throughout the film because it’s revealed that Lila is the survivor of a school shooting.
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. Check out what he said in this interview!
