Poster for Throwback Movie ‘Brute 1976’ Channels the Spirit of ‘Chain Saw Massacre’ [Exclusive]

Published

Marcel Walz (Blood Feast, That’s a Wrap) pays homage to 1970s classics with his next horror movie Brute 1976, and we’ve been exclusively provided with the official poster today.

From Neon Noir, the upcoming Brute 1976 is said to be a love letter to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, with Joe Knetter (Twilight of the Dead) writing.

That love for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, in particular, is front and center on this first official poster for the upcoming movie. Check it out below to see what we mean.

In the film, “‘In 1976, Raquel and her girlfriend have car trouble and break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. They stumble upon an abandoned mine and decide to explore it. At the same time a group of people are in the desert for a photoshoot. The plan is to do a salt and pepper styled shoot to celebrate the Bicentennial unity sweeping across the nation. The magazine cover will feature two models, Roxy and Raquel. Since Raquel doesn’t show up, they enlist Sunshine, the make-up artist, to take her place.

“After the shoot they stumble upon an abandoned town called Savage. It has a history of being very violent but has been vacant for years. It’s a perfect place to explore and take some photos. But they are not alone. A family of masked psychopaths have claimed Savage as their own and are hell bent on living up to its name.”

The cast includes Adriane McLean (Miracles of Christmas), Sarah French (Blind), Gigi Gustin (The Retaliators), Dazelle Yvette (Garden of Eden) and Adam Bucci (NCIS Los Angeles).

“I’ve always been a huge fan of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, both the originals and remakes,” said Walz. “Brute 1976 was an amazing experience to shoot: It was hot, it was dirty and it was bloody. I’m sure the audience will feel that on screen.”

Brute is our love letter to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which I consider to be the greatest horror film of all time,” said Knetter. “Shooting in the desert provided many challenges but our cast and crew really delivered something special.”
