Rating: 5.0
Watch a movie with the time it was made in mind
Of course the plot was silly, of course the characters now seem wooden, and of course the violence is now minimal. It seems this way because several hundred movies have done and redone the ideas presented in this film. This was a true ground breaking movie. Just about every violence based movie can thank this film for at least some portion of its existence. "Texas" and the original "Night of the Living Dead" (and of course Hammer) pushed the envelope of film. Making it possible for the modern horror film, as we know it today. So before you bash it to much you must first thank it. Without this film you could not enjoy the hack and slash stuff you now enjoy.
