The Final Cut 9/5/25 | Texas Chain Saw Remake Rumors | The Face of Horror | Patricia Wants to Cuddle Episode Description
On today’s episode of The Final Cut, Travis Brown explores the latest in horror’s wild evolution:
Texas Chain Saw Remake Rumors: JT Mollner (Strange Darling) responds to speculation about helming a Texas Chain Saw Massacre remake, making it clear he won’t touch the iconic franchise—calling the original and its sequel “untouchable.” While studios like A24, Netflix, and Paramount circle the IP, Leatherface’s future remains uncertain.
Anna Biller’s The Face of Horror: The Love Witch director returns with a bold, technicolor reimagining of Yotsuya Kaidan, Japan’s most famous ghost story, set in medieval Europe. Starring Jonah Hauer-King, Kristine Froseth, Bella Heathcote, and Ellie Bamber, this film promises betrayal, revenge, and bloody supernatural style.
Patricia Wants to Cuddle Adaptation: Sophia Takal adapts Samantha Allen’s queer horror-comedy novel, where reality dating show contestants face a monstrous recluse on a remote island. Expect a wild mix of satire, slasher, and survival horror with a fresh, comedic twist.
