If you loved Poltergeist, try The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tobe Hooper, and they both carry the cult, dread, late night mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Poltergeist, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is

Rural Texas, summer heat, a rusty van. A group of friends, a deserted house, a door slightly ajar. This low-budget horror film launches a terrifying genre staple.
