Curry Barker wants to channel the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake for his upcoming reboot for A24.

Speaking to Phantasmag ahead of this week’s release of indie horror sensation Obsession, which has been a critical darling on the festival circuit, the director discussed his love for the franchise. “It’s such a special thing to me. It was the 2003 version that I saw first—I’ve seen the original multiple times, and I’m a huge fan of it as well—but just based off nostalgia, I think back at that movie and how it creeped me out as a kid.”

While Barker admits that Marcus Nispel’s reimagining “doesn’t hit [him] the same” rewatching it as an adult, he does regard the film as a decent remake and wants to emulate its original impact on him.“My hope would be to recapture the feeling that I felt as a kid for a modern horror audience,” he says. “And I have some ideas of how to do that. It’s really exciting, but I also try not to think about the pressure of it too much because I think it could be the death of it.”
