Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
The 2nd of two "culture changing" movies.
In 1974 my cousin and I got "adjusted" and went to the theatre to see 'The Exorcist' because he was scheduled for 12 months in minimum security. We were blown away, the fact that people got sick in the theatre just added to the experience. I never expected that experience to be matched.In 1975 I took a young lady to a drive-in showing 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. Cars were leaving suddenly but we watched it through. It was like getting hit with a sledgehammer; we were stunned and so was the romance. We're still friends but all it takes is mentioning that movie to get the conversation going. Her husband thinks we're nuts but that and 'The Exorcist' were uncharted territory as was 'Alien' for sci-fi a few years later.It's been 35 years, time to bite the bullet and buy the DVD for another watch. I'm a horror fan but nothing creeps me out like this movie. And I learned to preview a movie before taking a woman to see it!
