Monty Python meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets... Les Misérables.

"Chainsaws Were Singing" is an absolutely bonkers action-horror-musical-comedy B-movie epic from Estonia. Shot guerilla style in 2013, this true love letter to crowd-pleasing exploitation cinema then spent a modest 10 years in postproduction and is finally out in 2024. A fan favorite at the most recent Fantasia and Fantastic Fests' "Chainsaws Were Singing" is special kind of music film, one with a massive body count. Due to some rude language and over-the-top comedic violence, it is probably not suitable for children under 12.
