Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Simply put, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is one of the most horrifying, intimidating, and ground-breaking horror films ever made. A group of young adults travel to an old family home to make sure that their deceased grandparents' graves have not been tampered with. Unfortunately for them, they encounter a cannabalistic family deep in the woods who shred their victims with chainsaws, sledgehammers, or any other weapons they can find. This film introduces the infamous Leatherface, a saw-wielding murderer who actually has a mask of human flesh. Director Tobe Hooper does a masterful job of using what little budget he was given (which actually adds to the effect of the film) and uses his own gut-wrenching musical score to add a nice sinister touch. Absolutely riveting for its time and still extremely intense today, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" will leave viewers breathless and covered with goosebumps. Director: Tobe Hooper. Cast: Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hansen, Edwin Neal. Rated R for extreme violence, gore, and profanity. 83 minutes.
