Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 4.0
Not gory, but scary none the less
The picture quality isn't too good, but I didn't expect it to be. The atmosphere is well established, and there is great suspense and terror. It is not gory in the bloody sense, yet due to its graphic nature, it may seem so. It can scare, while not becoming cheesy like the awful and wretched Next Generation. With a better transfer this could be one of the most entertaining horror viewing experiences. Indeed, its still great, but it has some hard-to-see areas that weaken the appeal. Still, it is one of the most frightening horror films of all time. If you are in to classic terror, that is not so bloody, check this out. It is a twisted film, but it's entertaining anyhow. Also, see the other great classic Halloween. It has a great transfer now, low gore, and greatness all around. It's also a little less macabre. For those who are a bit odd and those who love horror, see TCM.
