Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
Sick, twisted, disturbing... All in good low-budget filming!
One of the BEST slashers ever made to hit horror cinema would have to by the 1974 cult classic, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". It's the TRUE story based off the actual murders of the serial killer, Ed Gein about five youths who decide to take a normal afternoon summer drive that becomes a nightmare! After picking up a psychotic hitchhiker, they lose the menace eventually and continue... But it doesn't end there! The bloodthirsty Leatherface (the main villain who wields one helluva chainsaw)hunts them all down one by one, torturing them with mallets, hooks, & ice-cold freezers! This is indeed the most shocking film of it's time ever made & is still very scary even by todays standards. Therefore it is NOT for everyone. (if you are easily squeamish or a meat lover you should steer clear!) But if you're looking for a good horrifying masterpiece by Tobe Hooper (the creator who brought you "Poltergeist" & "Salem's Lot") then this is the movie to see! Very gross which turns out to prove that low-budget is sometimes the best!!!!
