Groundbreaking
This film is perhaps one of the most loved films of all time, I myself have loved this one for many years. I really don't think horror would be where it is today without this film. The story is breathtaking and memorable, This should be in every horror fans top 10 favorite films.The classic story.On August 16th 1973, five young college students are traveling through Texas until they meet up with a strange hitchiker. This stranger seemed kind of nice at first but he ended up to be a skull picking looney that likes to play with razors, after that awful experience with the hitcher the students run out of gas. They go out searching for a house with a phone, until they stumble to a bizarre farm inhabited by a bizarre redneck family of cannibals lead by a homicidal chainsaw weilding maniac nicknamed Leatherface. Soon the students will face their ultimate nightmare especially their ability to survive the night. "Who Will Survive, And What Will Be Left Of Them?" is the classic poster title for this film.This movie was and still is one of the most original horror films of all time. Leatherface has become a legend and horror icon. Some actually believe that this is based on fact, But this is not so. It is actually loosley based on the notorious Ed Gein. Probably the most famous serial killer in history. Largley because of the time that the murders happened, People were not prepared for the horror. Leatherface's mask is inspired by Ed Gein's act of skinning victims.A must see for all horror fans. If you haven't already seen it.
