The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Tobe Hooper, 1974.
😿😿
Edition screened: Dark Sky ‘40th Anniversary’ Blu-ray, released 2014. English language. Runtime approximately 83 minutes.
Summary: Disrespectful use of animal bodies.
Details:
1) A dead armadillo lies on her back on a highway, 4:52-5:08.
2) Gratuitous discussion of cow slaughtering techniques, 9:03-12:53.
3) A small sculpture made from parts of a slaughtered chicken decorates the dining room table, 1:11:50-1:18:55. Offensive in concept but not particularly gory.
If you want to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the dead animals really are no more prolific or disturbing than in most “family” films that include a hunting trip or a European kitchen.
