Bastardized. Abandoned. Mutilated. The second-greatest horror film ever made in Austin (after, of course, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) barely saw a release after it was made in the fetid, sweaty summer of 1985. But with a new restoration, the film’s finally getting the appreciation it deserves for its brutal, devastatingly honest depiction of a lightly fictionalized version of true-life serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. Few performances are as searingly chilling as that of Chain Saw art director Bob Burns as the eponymous serial killer. – Richard Whittaker
