This Movie Is The Most Disturbing Thing I've Ever Seen
First off let me just say that this isn't any ordinary horror movie. Along with the Halloween, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Hellraiser, this film doesn't fail to scare or disturb you just like the films I just named. I first saw this when I was 12 (I'm 14 now). I went to the mall and couldn't wait to buy it so I bought it. I was ready to get scared. When I got home I popped it into my VCR and I wasn't disappointed. I really got into the film. The film has a documentary style to it. It looks like it's really happening. The opening scene sent chills down my spine(I won't spoil the scene for people who haven't seen it). There are so many elements in this film that people would say "Oh my god, this could happen in my front yard" or something like that. It was loosely based on the killings of Ed Gein. Gunnar Hannsen was awesome as Leatherface. And get this he was only 18 when he got the role. I haven't seen the DVD yet, but I'm sure to get a copy of it. I hear its really great. I recommend this for die-hard horror fans. This movie isn't for people who like bad sequels to good horror movies that have comedy mixed in with it or close-ups (you'll see). Like the TCM's sequels (THEY WERE AWFUL). So get out that chainsaw and have a freaky fun ride. See ya. 3/15/03
