Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
Horror film at it's finest/sickest moment
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the film that Blair Witch Project tried to be. Absolutley realistic, although dated, it takes you into the van with the doomed teenagers as they pick up the warped hitchhiker. And the rollercoaster ride begins. Unrelenting, and horror at its scariest because there are really no zombies, witches or Freddy Kruegers....but go deep enough into the backwoods of any southern/midwestern region, and yes, psychotics like this are out there waiting to pounce upon the innocent and unsuspecting! Absolutley terrifying, you will approach long travel with a sense of dread that the film so well delivers. Claustrophobic, and nightmarish. The scene with the grandfather and Marylin Burns would probably cause Tipper Gore to suffer a massive heart attack on the spot. The graininess only adds to the sense of dread, and doom that the film delivers unrelentlessly. No film besides the "Excorcist" even comes close to the fearfulness this puts one through...vile and disturbing...a horror masterpiece!
