Kept me from sleeping!
I saw this when I was twelve or thirteen--I'm fourteen now--and it scared the hell out of me! I was terrified when the narration came on! I was horrified throughout the whole thing, and the climax had to be one of the greatest ever. the movie is practically based around the climax. It is made to be one big terrifying scene. Sally is an amazing heroine. She had a great scream, a mix of terror and growing insanity. I cheered for her the whole time. She make you want her to live. If you aren't a desensitized weirdo, you realize all the terror she goes through to survive, and to have her laugh in Leatherface's face as she rides away in the back of the pickup truck at the end was truly gratifying. (Wouldn't you love to see what happens when Leatherface goes back to his house?) I truly enjoyed Sally's performance in the house, especially at the dining room table. Tobe Hooper showed her fall off the brink of insanity very well, and I just thought she was the horror heroine to go through the most of all horror movies. This movie is amazing!
