Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 4.0
Graphically done with such disturbance.A classic.
Son of Sam,Ted Bundey,John Wayne Gacey,Ed Guinn.These were the people that put fear into the lives of everyone around them.A few years after the Charles Manson murders,A film that I considered a wake up call to horror films came out of nowhere.Shot in documentary film style,"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was the kind of film I would look up to as the kind of horror film that shouldn't be or couldn't be ignored.A group of young people,traveling through the back roads of Texas fall into complete terror when they are terrorized by a group of cannibals.The main psycho is a man named Leatherface who wears a mask made out of someone elses face,weilding a chainsaw making meat out of human prey.The rest of his family are even more psychotic.Each of the main characters(the victims)are each treated in such ways of complete terrifying situations,that reality for one of them loses it's grip.Marilyn Burns,the female lead is Sally.A victim that probably will have a pretty disturbed life after the events that takes place in this film.The actress herself was probably disturbed making this film."The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is not a horror film to disturb just because it is a horror film.Some of these events happen.Something that even disturbs me.Tobe Hooper enters our heads reminding us that the world we live in is packed with very disturbing events.With "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" I would rate this one of the best horror classics of the 1970s.
