Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 2.0
good idea but poorly made!
the idea behind this movie was a fabulous one- i mean who wouldn't be scared of a chainsaw welding maniac named leatherface?- but in order for such an idea to work, you have to be able to see the picture on the screen. i mean for me to be scared at a movie, i have to be able to SEE what is happening to the characters! to me, the best part of the movie was the ending... of course that could of had something to do with the fact that the ending was the only part in the movie that you could actually see! though i wasn't impressed with the rest of the movie, i did enjoy the way the potential victim just barely escaped leatherface. it just goes to show that when you could actually see the movie, it was rather enjoyable! i know that it was made on a low budget but come on, couldn't you at least afford a few overhead lights!
