The Film: The Texas Chainsaw MassacreYear Made: 1974The package: The ultimate edition comes in a very nice packaging. I can't help but to give this packaging 5 stars. A tin case that is very nice to just look at and behold the beauty of horror that you hold in your hands. I'm going to buy a extra copy just so I can have one unopened this is so cool. Inside you will find 2 discs, one with the main movie and a few extras on it. The second disc is full of extra features that are sure to please! I found the discs a bit hard to take out of the case compaired to other packaging, but all and all that is no big deal when compaired to how nice this is. You will be proud to add this to your collection.Spook Meter. 5 Stars!I have seen many horror films over the years. Their are a lot of scary films out there, however this film takes scary to a whole new level. Sometimes you might watch a movie and say to yourself, this movie was scary. When I watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre I felt truly scared! heart raced, and I just felt truly spooked. It's all in how this film captures your emotions. The way it was shot, the amazing acting leads one who watches this gem of a film to ask yourself. Does Leatherface really have this person captured for real? Yes, this film is that intense that it really makes you question at times, ummm what am I watching. What this captures so well is that raw human emotion, the fear! Many horror films never quite capture that and this one does for sure. It does such a great job with the intense screems and the raw emotions, it sets this films apart from all others. You feel that fear from the supurb acting and the result is your brought into the film and you feel the fear as well. The lack of a lot of music in the backround, really helps and makes it more creepy. The sounds that are used, fit the film perfectly and really add to rawness of it all. I can't even put into words what I truly want to say, this is truly that scary!Gore Meter: 2 Stars. If your into tons of blood and gore, you won't find it here. Ahhh but don't fret, this film is so well done in terms of raw fear that you will not miss that extra blood. Yes there is some blood, but very little. This film proves that you can make a truly scary horror film and not pour on the blood.I found the amount of blood to be fine considering just how well done this is. I admit I can be a bit into gore and like a lot of gore in other films, but take it from me a gore hound. You will truly be scared stiff watching this and you won't miss the blood. YES this is truly that good!Profanity Meter: 1 Strike. There is a few words, but overall this films has very little profanity which I did not miss at all.Sexual Meter: 1 Strike. There are no women running around with no tops on. There are no makeout scenes, no kissing, no nothing. HAHAHAHA leave that to other movies, Leatherface has work to do!Final thoughts. I give this film overall 5 stars for the way it just freaked me out! All these years later and this film does not have a dated feel to it. Now thats what I call amazing! The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is in my opinion the greatest and most scary horror film ever made that I have seen. It simply does not get better then this. You don't need excessive blood or a high budget to make a film that will scare the hell out of you. It just takes supurb acting, the right people to play the rolls, and some amazing directing!I'm going to step up here and say once again. This original Texas Chain Saw Massacre IS the greatest horror film EVER made!!
