Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
Pure unadulterated horror
This is the purest horror movie I have ever seen, and easily the scariest. No comic relief, no supernatural b.s., no social justice ("These monsters are created by greedy corporations!") b.s., no absurd plot twists, no gaffes by the actors or the director, and no hope. Nothing to take you out of the movie or distract you from the straight line descent into hell that Hooper has paved for us. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" depicts a world in which evil is inexplicable and irresistable, a world in which we are powerless to understand, much less avoid or fight, that evil. It is a world that is utterly, and horribly, believable.
