Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
Creepy, Gorey, and Disturbing. A TRUE CLASSIC!!
I have to say when I first heard of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre I didn't know what to think. I heard so many people talk about how disturbing it was. So, being a huge fan of horror movies, I had to see what the hype was about. I was not disappointed. Like The Exorcist The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not really scary as in jumping out of your seat and screaming, but is eerie and just plain creepy. These movies scare me most of all. Maybe it's the fact that the story is based on the true crimes of Ed Gein or maybe it's fact that this could actually happen almost anywhere in the world. The movie spills plenty of teenage blood and has multiple disturbing images that you won't soon forget. Tobe Hooper did a great job with this film on a low budget. Even though you can tell they didn't spend millions of dollars on special effects it takes nothing away from the movie itself and shows how far a great director can go. If you want a movie that will shock, scare and disturb you, you have to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
