" I bet your family reunions are a blast leatherface!!"
This film opened up the horror genre, no doubt. Marketed at the time as the most horrifying and grotesque film ever made, no gore is really shown, but your imagination is the best role in this film. You can hear and somewhat imagine what these people are going through, but you are not invited to watch as a close bystander. Brilliant. The lack of musical score incites your perception and keeps you involved. The first part is in daylight, and the hitchhiker and the remote house will give you chills. The dinner scene with the lone survivor is enough to give you a coronary, her screams, and they last awhile, tend to stay with you hours after this film concluded. Creepy, errie, repulsive, sickening, and downright chilling, that is why it works. Check the next package of groundbeef when you buy it, who knows who produced it or is starring in it. Sweet dreams.
