Product: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Uncut) [Region 2] (1974)
Rating: 4.0
ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!!!
The first time I watched this was only less than a year ago. I always avoided it, due to its reputation and its explicit title. I have always been fascinated with scary/horror films, but when I finally rented this one and watched it (alone) I was sitting on the edge of my sofa the whole time. This blows away ANY other horror film, not due to its gore content (there is actually not much gore), but rather the sheer psychological terror surrounding the whole film. This movie is so scary, it's unbelievable. The hitchhiker is the craziest guy you will ever see in a horror film. Seeing the terror in the girl's eyes at the dinning table was shocking. I felt like I was living her nightmare. I didn't know how the movie was going to end. The ending is fantastic, though. The movie was too disturbing to me to want to ever watch it again, but it is the scariest film out there mainly because of the realism of the whole thing. I don't think I will ever forget this movie. I didn't eat meat for more than a month afterwards. I didn't give it the highest rating due to the fact that I didn't enjoy the subject matter of this movie, but the movie is extremely powerful in its effect. Horror fans have to see it at least once. It can definitely stand the test of time and the directing is fantastic. In all, horrifying and unforgettable!!!
