Chain Reactions plot

Fifty years after Tobe Hooper’s “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” shocked the world and forever changed the face of global cinema and popular culture, “Chain Reactions” charts the film’s profound impact and enduring influence on five major artists – Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King and Karyn Kusama – through early memories, sensory experiences and childhood traumas. Establishing a dynamic dialogue between contemporary footage and never-before-seen outtakes, and delving into personal impressions evoked by different audiovisual formats (16mm, 35mm, VHS, digital), this documentary goes to the heart of how a sleazy, low-budget independent film wormed its way into our collective nightmares and forever changed the zeitgeist.

An interesting, if occasionally somewhat overblown, documentary about the profound impact and enduring influence of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Five diverse admirers (Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama) are given ample input. The observations and theories sometimes go a bit far, but overall, the clearly lovingly crafted documentary is captivating enough.
