In this twisted spoof of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," a vacationing family encounters a communal group of cannibalistic misfits, played by legendary punk band Butthole Surfers. After drinking a hallucinogenic beverage, and eating part of his own son, the father witnesses a live performance by the band.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
