A restored 4k version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre hits theaters today from MPI Media Group/ Dark Sky Films on the 50 th anniversary of the iconic indie scarefest by the late Tobe Hooper. The film stars Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow, and Gunnar Hanssen as Leatherface and follows five youths on a weekend getaway who fall victim to a butcher in a mask made of human skin and his family of cannibals. MPI, which launched as a home video outfit in the 1970s, had the rights to the film and the release today is its first since the distributor and its genre horror label Dark Sky were relaunched under Justin DiPietro, former head of Cohen Media Group with years at Alamo Drafthouse and Netflix, who came on this summer as EVP of both MPI and Dark Sky.
