Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
The definition of true horror
...the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still one of the most revered, and terrifying, films around, even at nearly 30 years later since its release. A group of teenagers pick up a drifter, and when he begins to mutilate himself thats when the fun begins. The kids end up at the home of a family of cannibalistic killers, led by Leatherface who would become an all time icon in horror movies, as would his chainsaw. Director Tope Hooper uses disorienting camera angles stresses the limitations of the film's low budget to create an overwhelming sense of dread (much like Sam Raimi would later do with the original Evil Dead film) that really set Texas Chainsaw Massacre apart from other horror and slasher films. All in all, if you want a really good horror film that even outshines every horror film made today, then check out this all time classic...
