Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
A Truly Terrifying, Intense Film
First and foremost, TCM lives up to its almost mythical level of fame. If you are a BIG horror fan (i.e. you hate Scream and the crappy Hollywood "Horror" flicks that come out now) you will have a blast watching it. This film gains respect from me because it truly terrified me (and I've seen PLENTY of horror films). This was the only film I can remember that got my heart beating, and I almost dreaded to see some of the heinous acts played out in the movie. And TCM scares you without resulting in a bloodbath; in fact, it's nowhere nearly as gory as its famed to be. TCM leaves a lot to your imagination; believe me, that is VERY effective. Overall, I can't recommend this terrifying masterpiece enough. It ranks up there with the classic and influential horror films (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Suspiria, Halloween,etc...).
