Few films have influenced today's horror generation more than The Chain Saw Massacre. In Chain Reactions, we can see the profound influence the film has had on five very different artists, Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama. Through anecdotes, photos and film clips, it becomes clear how important and ground-breaking Tobe Hooper's 50-year-old masterpiece really is! And you will also find out what relationship Takashi Miike has with It's a Wonderful Life!

Director Alexandre O. Philippe is attending Ramaskrik and will introduce the screenings of Chain Reaction. He is an experienced documentary filmmaker and a good friend of our festival. He has screened his films at Ramaskrik on several occasions, most recently digitally in 2020 with "Leap of Faith". In the picture we see Philippe introducing Memory: The Origins of Alien in 2019. We are looking forward to it!
