The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Just a thought on the intersection between Julia Kristeva, Barbara Creed and Carol J. Clover, on the subject of horror and "feminine agency"... The peculiar space of "feminine agency" that the horror film genre allows, owes its subversive existence to the way in which the medium provides a unique space for the abject and the social catharsis of expelling the abject; within this space of ideological interpellation, the subversion of the subject through immersion in the abject, blooms into unity with the abject, a unity that is also its overcoming. From this site, a non-phallic feminine agency is born: not masculine appropriation, but subversion, collapse of symbolic boundaries, bricolage appropriation and inversion. This is an agency that amounts to a fluid realignment of power that leaves the patriarchal villain castrated and abjected. And this peculiar space, despite whatever conservative trappings the commercial enterprise and ideological conformity that also defines it, is, in this way, also able to elevate "feminine agency" within a space of social recognition in a peculiar way, too. If the there is an intentional gaze that can designate the intentional gaze of the phallic subject under screen of the imaginary projector (such that the interpellation that structures the imaginary relation is structurally determined as phallic), then the inversion of identification that opens up within this space of the abject is able to manipulate the identification of the spectator in a way that moves beyond the limits of ideological interpellation. This is also why the genre as such, as a commercial designation, has a peculiar status socially, culturally, and within the industry: one akin to the abject.
