You won’t find a better Chain Saw fan film out there.
By far the best aspect of Texas Chainsaw 3D was that it returned to the events of Tobe Hooper’s original classic, showing us what happened right after the 1974 film came to a close. Similarly, mega fan Gus Trapani has taken the franchise back to its ’70s roots with Sally’s Escape from Hell, a new short that makes me question my stance on fan films being relatively useless.
With Sally’s Escape from Hell, which essentially reimagines Sally Hardesty’s struggle for survival in the final act of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Trapani impressively manages to capture both the manic terror and inherent goofiness that helped make Hooper’s film such a standout slice of horror cinema. The filmmaker explains his goal with the short…
This film was simply a passion project made out of the love we have for Tobe Hooper’s 1974 masterpiece, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The goal was to try and capture the raw feeling of the original film while adding a tad of our own flavor. Shot in two days with no crew.
Check out the incredible short below, which stars Jennie Yates as Sally.
