About This Movie

Cutting Chain Saw is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of J. Larry Carroll, the editor behind The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The documentary unfolds in a somewhat laid-back manner, allowing Carroll's anecdotes to breathe, which is refreshing. There's a genuine exploration of the film's raw atmosphere, how the editing shaped its notorious tension. While Carroll shares stories, you get that sense of history, the practical effects that made the original so unsettling. It’s a behind-the-scenes view that feels intimate, almost like a personal conversation. The pacing might shift from brisk to contemplative, but that just adds to the charm of hearing firsthand about a film that’s left such a mark on horror cinema.
