Chain Reactions is a 2024 American documentary film written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe.
It is about the impact the 1974 horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre had on five artists, who are Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama.
[1] Christian Zilko of IndieWire gave the film a B and wrote, "Exploration of our inexplicable attraction to horror is the true theme of the brilliantly titled Chain Reactions.
Plenty of well-adjusted people have devoted their lives to capturing sadism, abuse, dismemberment, and sin in its many forms in cinema and literature.
"[2] Alan French of Sunshine State Cineplex gave the film a 7 out of 10 and wrote, "A love letter to an all-time classic, Chain Reactions shines as one of Philippe's most entertaining works.
