This article explores the transnational qualities of the Chain Saw narrative via a comparison of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and Christoph Schlingensief’s The German Chain Saw Massacre (1990) with a focus on the latter.
The article challenges the idea of transnational narratives by identifying the cultural specificity of both films. However it does acknowledge Schlingensief’s The German Chain Saw Massacre as an ingenious appropriation of Hooper’s original for the unique historical framework of the German Reunification.
