The Ultimate Nightmare
I read the reviews on this site for the movie and was unsure what i would be getting myself into and not sure if the film would be boring like some said or a work of art-the minute the opening credits rolled i knew this was going to be a good movie and i was right. I'm a Horror movie lover and believe it or not this is one of the only films i didnt see , basically because i heard how boring it was and remember seeing a scene from it when i was younger and not seeing any gore- but thats all i remember was a scene of the barn - i'm so glad i bought this film because this is a masterpiece. I thought micheal myers, jason and freddy were good villians but noone can be more disturbing and terrifying than leatherface. I do not scare easy and can sit through any other horror movie without even flinching but i sat in my room and watched this movie with headphones on the tv and a feeling came over me that cant be described when i saw leatherface and the whole terror of that evening and the movie in general. The images of the sun , moon , the spiders in the house, the chainsaw are so unique and imbedded in your mind- the images , the sounds , and the way he hit the guy on the head with the hammer sounded so real and like you were there it was shocking. It was worse than a 100 killings by any other villian in the world of horror. This was even scarier than the exorist because that girl could be helped and saved but these maniacs will always be twisted and insane till they die. It didnt bother me how most of the characters got killed off in begining because the film was so good it didnt matter plus it was more real -this was more (( real )) than any horror film ive ever seen before. Usually when a villian kills in horror film im just like yea , that would be scary if i was there but it dosent even do anything for me sitting here but this movie shocked me- the depravity , the realness, the insanity and the fact that this could happen- they make you beleive it could happen to you. I loved this film so much i wish it were a little longer but even though the shortness it is still a masterpiece. I shouldve bought this years ago- this movie should be in any horror fans collection and might end up being your new favorite. This movie is so good it dosent even need blood to be shocking or scary. That should tell you somthing- with the characters, plot, images, sounds, suspense and depravity that is worse than blood. When you see the guy on the table after leatherface knocks him out with his sledgehammer and you see the girl on the hook watching her own boyfriend sawed up by leatherface and the scene at the end of the other girl being tortured by the family, just watching that is worse than seeing micheal myers slaughter 100 people with plenty of blood and gore.- It is truly a horror nightmare masterpiece. You will never forget this film when you see it and im sure all the horror buffs will love this. Highly Recomended. 5 stars - A horror essential.
