The Good, The Bad, and The What!?

GBW #99: Summer Slaycation (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre / Wrong Turn / Tourist Trap)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

This week, Chris and Ryan dive into three horror films that all involve a summer vacation that goes south very quickly. We start on a high note with one of the greatest horror films of all-time (arguably *the* greatest), Tobe Hooper's 1974 masterwork, "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." Not much else can be said that hasn't been, only that we argue that it's that rare film that each time feels like the first time. Then, we pivot into 2003's "Wrong Turn," a film that has its fans, but we're not among them, and find little to grasp onto outside of the Stan Winston effects. Finally, we go back to the '70s with 1979's bonkers-yet-effective "Tourist Trap."
