Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 5.0
Great great film
This really is just a classic film. It really bugs me when I see the idiots who have reviewed it and say that the remake is better than the original. The remake is just another formulaic, ten-a-penny slasher - it might have been passably good if there had never been an original TCM, but there is, so it wasn't. Throughout the original, I sat rigid in my chair from the opening scenes right through to the final horrifying escape scene. That last is one of the most memorable scenes in any film, thanks to that sunset chainsaw shot, and even though she escapes, it still leaves you feeling like there's absolutely no hope for her. Devastating.
