Lisa Newmyer Speaks...

Fangoria

"Yeah", she laughs, "all my dialogue's done tonight, so I just have
to lay there. It's really boring." As she talks she leans forward,
and Logan begins creating an ugly wound in the middle of her back,
just above the curve of her low-backed dress. She explains that
her character encounters the Chainsaw bunch on prom night. When
she, Jenny, and their dates get into a car wreck and have the
misfortune of being picked up by Vilmers towing service.
"So far," she notes cheerfully, "I've been hung on a
meathook and had my nose bitten off. Tonight, I'll get set on
fire. It's been great. Really, none of the violence starts
until we get to the farmhouse, and Renee and I are a bit tired
right now because we've been getting beat up and everything. But
this has been the best learning experience I've ever had."
"The wounds get worse," she adds, "I look really hideous.
When we have dinner, at 1:30 a.m., it's like, 'Don't let Lisa
come in.'"

Austin Chronicle

"It was a crazy shoot. Very long. One
thing that was interesting about it was that it
was shot in sequence. You know how most films are
shot totally the opposite, you can shoot the
last scene on the first day and like that, right?
On this film, the beginning of the shoot was the
beginning of the movie, and the end of the shoot
was the end of the movie. So it was pretty
exhausting from that point of view. The first
couple of weeks were really fun, you know? It was
all the easy stuff. And then, as it went on, we
were doing mostly night shoots, in Bastrop, so
we'd shoot from say, seven in the evening until
seven, sometimes 10, in the morning, the next
day. So it got pretty grueling. And it became
more violent. It just kind of progressed. It
became more exhausting, and more disturbing, as
the material got more physically demanding. It was
fun, up to a point.

There's a scene where I'm on the porch swing and
Leatherface [ Jacks ] comes up behind me and throws me
into a meat freezer, that whole sequence was shot
in 10-hour stretches. I couldn't move the next day.

It is what it is. It's a classic B-movie. Twenty years
from now it'll probably be as popular as the original.
If you have a sense of humor, see it, if you don't like
horror movies, then don't go see it."
