Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
An absolute classic of it's genre.
For the serious horror fan this film stands the test of time over and over again. Made 25 years ago it has an almost your along for the ride feel to it. From the start with it's documentary type narration a few complain the film moves to slow, but that is part of it's subtle perfection. Take a slow lazy summer days ride into the night , and the abyss of unforgiving insanity. An uncompromising look into the realm of a family consumed by madness and the unlucky few that cross paths with them. In 1999 we are a careful society, wary of strangers, but cars run low on gas, they break down on the roadside. Who do we suppose lives down that old dirt road? Do we go looking for help? In 1974 Tobe Hooper answered those questions in a surreal and to date unmatched masterpiece.
