- The Monster
When three college buddies decide to rekindle their comraderie with a camping trip, they become the unwitting prey of a very dysfunctional family. As unforgettable as Deliverance, as terrifying as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this Mother's Day will leave you feeling frightened and amazed!
Fango caught up with filmmaker Kim Henkel. He’s best-known as the co-scripter of the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and gave them the scoop that he has a new Leatherface offering in the planning stages. “I have just completed a script for a new one, and it will not be made by Platinum Dunes,” Henkel tells Fango. “I’ve just done the first draft, and I’m still unsure of which way I’m going to go with it. However, it’s the first time since the original that I’ve done something that I wanted to do with it. I’m excited about being able to truly realize what I’ve put down on paper.”
While Henkel, who also wrote and directed 1997’s TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION, is tight-lipped about plot details, he does offer, “Let me say that it moves the whole situation forward. It places everything in the present, and is very much a product of these times. It leaves behind the setting of ‘30 years ago.’ ”
