Rating: 5.0
Don't watch this one alone
One of the few flicks that ever actually scared me,but to tell you the truth,it's reputation proceeds it. I guess the real horror in this film was the fact that it is based on the true-life occurences of Ed Gein,now how the whole thing wound up in Texas,I don't know,seeing as how Ed Gein never set foot in Texas. From the moment I started this film for the first time,I felt like I was covered with a coat of slime...I don't know how else to explain it. It was like I was witnessing something I wasn't supposed to. This film was definately an original endeavor and people like Tobe Hooper have been the inspiration for most of the greater films in this genre. If you haven't seen this film you are missng a great film. I haven't seen the DVD version,but now that I know it contains never-before seen footage,I'm dying to get my hands on a copy.
