Curry Barker on his upcoming 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' movie for A24 ⛓️
"I want to make a new generation of people scared and give them this feeling of: 'What if you went on a road trip with your friends and this happened to you?' I want to capture the rawness and the grounded-ness of the original"
"I wouldn’t be interested if I didn’t think I could find a way in that feels fresh and new, while still respecting the original. The canon itself is all over the place, so there’s not much to stay loyal to other than the original"
He watched all 10 films in the franchise to prepare for developing it:
"Some of those movies just turn out to be a guy with a chainsaw chasing a person around. It doesn’t work to just have a chase movie. They’re hiding in a barn. It gets old. And I don’t buy it — a chainsaw is loud but they don’t hear it? I hate when you’re watching a movie and you’re thinking, “Just do this [instead]"

Curry Barker says he has a cool idea for ‘OBSESSION 2’ that will be made in the future.
“I’m not saying it has to be 5, 6 years from now. But I think people would be just as excited for it if it came a little down the road.”
