After a successful festival and theatrical run, the award-winning documentary Chain Reactions makes its digital/VOD debut on October 21, 2025. Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, the film features interviews with Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King and Karyn Kusama.

Fifty years after Tobe Hooper’s cult horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre shocked the world and forever changed the face of movies and popular culture, Chain Reactions charts the film’s profound impact and lasting influence on five great artists – Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama – through early memories, sensory experiences, and childhood trauma. By crafting a dynamic dialogue between contemporary footage and never-before-seen outtakes, and delving into personal impressions triggered by distinct audiovisual formats, including 16mm, 35mm, VHS and digital, Chain Reactions goes to the heart of how a scruffy, no-budget independent film wormed its way into our collective nightmares and permanently altered the zeitgeist.
