Rating: 5.0
If you like a good scare then this is the movie for you !!
I originally saw TCM back in 1983 before it was banned in Ireland. I went to see a special showing in the Irish Film Centre last week. To my surprise the film still shocked me and it still had its dark, psychotic, chilling atmosphere, especially when the girl falls into the room full of chicken feathers and bones. I knew what was coming up and what to expect but the scene where "Leatherface" puts the girl onto the meat hook was as terrifying as it was to me the first time around. All I can say is it is a very simple movie with very gruesome content, which is intensified due to the fact the film was based on a real life psycopath called Ed Gein. I give it 5 stars for still being able to scare the hell out of me after 16 years ! No other horror film comes close.
