Genre: Horror
The film that changed the horror genre forever is roaring back to life as we close out our Halloween Hangover Weekend with Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre—restored, remastered, and just as merciless as ever.
What begins as an innocent summer road trip through rural Texas becomes a waking nightmare when a group of friends stumbles upon an isolated farmhouse—and the cannibalistic family that calls it home. Released in 1974, Hooper’s masterpiece shattered taboos and redefined the limits of on-screen terror. Filmed with documentary grit and a feverish sense of realism, it’s less of a movie and more of an unrelenting plunge into what feels like genuinely dangerous territory.
Half a century later, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre remains unmatched on a visceral level. Seeing it on the big screen with a packed crowd feels like the only proper way to say goodbye to Spooky Season this year.

Coralie Fargeat’s smash hit sci-fi satire The Substance returns for a fresh round of encores hot off of its five Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Makeup And Hairstyling!
Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading celebrity who, desperate to regain her youthful looks, turns to a mysterious black-market drug known as “The Substance.” This cell-replicating liquid temporarily creates a younger, enhanced version of those who ingest it — but their rejuvenation comes with horrifying consequences.
Blending satirical commentary on society’s obsession with beauty and aging with shocking body horror elements, Fargeat’s visual storytelling, and the film’s bold performances – particularly from Moore – have garnered early praise following its premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it took home the award for Best Screenplay. The Substance is a bold and unsettling exploration of the lengths people will go to defy aging, with Fargeat continuing to push boundaries in the horror genre.
