I, like many, never wanted to rent this movie because of its reputation. I'd always heard of it and decided to steer clear, but I love horror movies and one night I was feeling brave so I rented it and did not regret it. This movie almost drove me nuts. Everyone knows the reputation this movie has. Well, the foreshadowing in this movie keeps you expecting the worst. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I almost chewed my hand off. Hooper did an outstanding job of directing this. The whole stroy is grim and disturbing, but this just makes you more on edge. The last ten to fifteen minutes of this film is what almost drove me nuts. The tension gets so tight. All you hear for the last part is screaming. True screaming. Buzzing and yelling also surrounds. To those who are leery of this movie, don't be. It really isn't that gross. Sure people get cut up and you've probably heard of the girl getting stuck on the hook. Believe me, it's not as bad as it sounds. They don't show a lot of it. All horror fans should watch this one. Don't be scared of it. Try it out.
