New TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Sports Practical Gore FX
Producer Fede Alvarez and Legendary’s new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie hits later this year. And today, Alvarez teases the movie sports practical gore effects.
He tells Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew podcast: “Everything is a classic, old-school gags. It’s a very old-school approach to filmmaking. Vintage lenses… it’s very similar to the original film.”
Sounds good to us!
The new film is a continuation of Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic and marks the return of Leatherface, re-introducing one of the most iconic villains of the horror genre to a whole new generation. The film recently wrapped production.

He has also shot commercials for Verizon, Lenovo, Fisher-Price, T-Mobile, and Firestone.
