GEt the earplugs ready.
How, how is this film so dear to fanboy type horror fans? I fail to see it. What is it about this so called seminal work in terror that grabs the public imagination and makes mainstream film critics giddy with glee. Why, this has to be one of horrors top 10 right? Right!!!!The answer is no. Do not bye into the hype. This is one dull and ordinary horror film. Yeah, so its a little original. You'll never think of family the same way after this one. But its boring. And considering its supposed to be the granddaddy of terror, the godfather of gore etc etc, what a letdown. If feeling your ear drums burst from the non stop shrieks of the lead actress for an hour is your idea of terror, than go hide under the covers for you will be afraid. If instead, the womans wails get to be even more annoying than leatherface's chainsaw, you will be in for a long viewing experience. How many times did i pray for that inbred dolt to put a saw to the lass and end her perpetual whine?Was there anyone else in the film you say? Well there was the family. An entertaining lot and they get their props. But thats about it. The victims are cardboard cutouts of the worst kind. The one who got put on the meathook was a cut (oooohch) above the rest..i almost felt a residue of sympathy for her as she squirmed on the hook. It was in the eyes I guess.Gore-Little. Mostly implied. Woman gets skewered.T&A-don't know.closed my eyes and covered my ears from girls shrieks so many times, I may have missed something.
