Gunnar Hansen’s cinema career


In 1973 Gunnar Hansen has just graduated and he heard about an indie horror movie that was being filmed in Texas and decided to try out and his life changed for ever. Gunnar Hansen got the part of Leatherface.

I need to highlight that beyond the fact that Gunnar Hansen was young and new actor he shown a high level of professionalism because for the needs of Leatherface part he visited and studied special kinds in order to determine mannerism.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a huge success and Gunner Hansen offered a role in the film “The Demon Lover” which was not lucky enough to became a commercial success and Gunnar Hansen decided not to continue acting and he started writing.
Few years later it was offered to Gunnar Hansen to participate in the film “The Hills Have Eyes” but he rejected the offer.

  2. Texas Chanisaw Massacre is one of the most succesfull in history of cinema film series. The financial ratios of profitability are among the highest ever! There is a huge demand for final girl horror projects but there are rules. Inoovation, unique point of view, twist ending, great photography, respect to audience, clever camera angels and more of all the group of filmmakers must share the same passion about cinema!
